I Have a Dream

Today we pay respect to Martin Luther King, Jr. who had a dream. Who expressed that dream in a speech titled "I Have a Dream."

Have you ever read or heard the speech? I have heard parts before, but today I shared the whole speech with my class and God really moved in my heart.

Since being in Korea I have experienced so much judgement as to whether people are American, Korean, Canadian, or whatever! Even more so the judgement of Christians............Christians giving Christians a bad name or being this or that kind of Christian.

I just don't get it!! BEing an American does NOT define my identity, but it is a part of who I am.

What we ALL are is God's children, period.

After reading the speech today, I felt I could replace some words with a number of different "labels" and most of the speech could still be prevalent today......how about just replacing words with the word "humanity" or how about "God's own".

Martin Luther King, Jr. said:
"I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."

Which is actually recorded in Isaiah 40:4-5

May we too have this dream. May it be our hope and faith until the Lord's return.

Be reminded that it all is really about God's Love. Experience His Love by ACCEPTING/RECEIVING it, RETURNING it, and SHARING it.

Do you have a dream today?
