According to a children’s song which many of us learned: “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, all are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world.”
I learned this verse when I was young and still believe it today. It says that God doesn’t discriminate, He loves every one of us. I grew up in a home that taught me about God. I also grew up in a home that enforced a respect for others and a sense of responsibility. So, it is understandable that I believe “All Lives Matter”.
The cry for “Black Lives Matter” seems to emanate from people who never experienced that kind of love; people who fail to understand that all of us are children of God; people who seem to not respect the lives of others, probably because they feel disrespected.
What is the answer for them? I am not sure I know; but I DO know that politicians do not have the answer. The answer is within each and every one of us. Politicians have kept people enslaved to the system for years. The system fosters a false belief that they can help when the truth is that the only help you can rely on is yourself. They buy your vote by offering things that are not even theirs to give. And slowly you settle for the crumbs they toss when you could stand proudly without them.
Great people are confident and yet, humble. Their confidence comes from achievement and learning. This is what helps you to stand proudly; not some politician telling you that you are a victim. Bureaucrats manipulate your thoughts by making you believe their lies. Keeping those people in office perpetuates hopelessness.
How can you learn anything when the schools are inadequate? This is another area that should demonstrate how the system has failed. School vouchers would help people to gain access to better schools. Pay attention to the politicians who deny this program. Help yourself by not supporting them. Learning does not have to be in a particular setting. It is a desire that can be satisfied at local libraries where there is a plethora of information on any topic you choose.
Respect yourself by using language that does not demean your intelligence. Hint: four letter words do not fit into that category. Activist groups are created by people who want to draw attention to what they perceive is an injustice. The groups are then infiltrated by others who pretend to be a part of the cause but who really have a separate agenda. The infiltrators use these groups to achieve their own goal of anarchy. Wake up! Stop being a tool of the subversive political system. Use your own God given abilities to make decisions that will enhance your life. Don’t be fooled by politicians who speak lies and make false promises.
It is sad and unfortunate when people believe in the system more than they believe in themselves.
