Come closer ...

come to the light.  Get understanding, seek wisdom.  Know what YOU want, what YOU think.

Are you living to impress others, or are you living for GOD, for the Kingdom? Personally I believe a person can be in the world and not of the world.

Check yourself.  Do you buy into stereotypes?  Do you assume people behave a certain way because of the color of their skin?  Are you prejudice ?  Do you Pre- Judge people.  You know; all white people are smart, most black people are dumb and immoral?

Well if you do, forget color.  You know that it's character.  What determines a person's character is quite debatable.  Yes, I believe in inter-racial dating, marriage, socializing, etc.  I am an historian.  I know that laws from man created and perpetuated racism.  The Puritans imposed fines and punishment on colonists for miscegenation and amalgamation.  Years were added to your terms of indenture if you were found with an Indian or a person of Negro decent.

You should really question why Aaron Burr really killed Alexander Hamilton.  Every one knew that Hamilton was spawned from a wealthy white aristocratic father and a black concubine mother.

My point is not to incite hatred.  My desire is promote understanding.  Stop focusing on color, culture or religion.  "Love ye one another as I have loved you."  Dr. King once remarked on the "segregated" nature of our churches.  I do understand cultural preferences and differences.  We do worship "differently" but we worship the same GOD.  Hoping to go to the same place in the "by and by".

Let go of all the bad or wrong things you have been taught.  Don't spend your life enslaved by the values of this world.  Don't forget this world demands that you be perfect!  There is no room for imperfection in man's world.

And the sad irony is, the more you satisfy man's definition of perfection the more this world will hate you.  A pretty intelligent confident woman will suffer in this world.  Pretty women hate you, ugly women hate you, good men fear your rejection.

Bottom line, live for GOD first.  Every thing you need or want will be added unto you.

Stay in His WORD children.  Remember;"Apart from Christ you are nothing."

May GOD's Grace, Mercy and Truth, engulf you, cloak you and keep you in Perfect Peace,
