In Celebration of the “Dream”: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I will make you a
light to the nations,
that my salvation may
reach to the ends of the earth.
~ Isaiah 49:6
Dreams are made during the darkest moment in life and the
life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was not any different. We must
keep dreaming for a better home, city and state, country and the whole world
and for peace, love and unity among men notwithstanding our divergence.
Many have been written, said and reflected upon the life of
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., however in my heart and mind, nothing best prepared
him for the task of becoming the sacrificial lamb for the downtrodden, the
persecuted and those in bondage of physical and mental slavery and injustices
as his complete faith in the almighty God.
It is therefore appropriate to quote from the prophet Isaiah
prophesy about the “Light of the world” who was Jesus Christ and also those who
chooses to follow in the path of the same light.
As a people we are being challenged today to worthily
celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Day by becoming a reflection of the
idealism that led to his painful death and by faith his glorious martyrdom
while witnessing to the word of God.
If you want peace as
Dr. King desire, then become the peace that the world need!
If you want justice
as Dr. King desire, then become the justice that the world need!
If you want love as
Dr. King desire, then become the love that the world need!
If you want unity as
Dr. King desire, then become the unity that the world need!
If you want freedom
as Dr. King desire, then become the freedom the world need!
If you despise discrimination
as Dr. King do, then stop discriminating!
If you abhor racism
as Dr. King do, then stop being a racist!
If you want to dream
as Dr. King did, then become the dream that the world need today.
In order to worthily celebrate Dr. King, we must be ready to
put on the armor of God which abound where there is love, hope and faith,
trust, obedience and humility, patience, perseverance and endurance, mercy,
compassion and forgiveness and unity.
Happy Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. Day!
