Good Morning Family and Thank You Lord, for waking me up on this TARNISHED THURSDAY. LORD, this morning I feel sheer fluster....these unjust verdicts, the killing of my brothers, have robbed me of my little shine, my luster! Generation after Generation through the beatings, social oppression and economically standing on our backs; Our labor has built this Nation. Our President, A Black Man. LORD, is that a connotation? For centuries it continues to be just us, just us and No Justice! How long my LORD, must we....Your Rainbow Mix...go through this? (Excerpts from Why did you make me black by Mother RuNett Ebo) Why did you make me black? Why did you make me someone the world wants to hold back? Black is the color of dirty clothes, the color of grimy hands and feet. black is the color of tire beaten streets. Black is the color of a bruised eye when someone one gets hurt. Black is the color of darkness, Black is the color of dirt. LORD, dont you think its time for You to make a change? Why dont you re-do creation and make everyone the same? And Our LORD answered me....Saying Why did I make you black? Why did I make you black? Get up off your knees, look around and tell me what you see? I didnt make you in the image of darkness. I made you in the likeness of ME! I made you the color of coal from which beautiful diamonds are formed. I made you the color of oil, the black-gold that keeps people warm. I made you from the rich dark earth that grows the food you need. Your color is the same as the Panther which is known for her Beauty and Speed. Your color beloved is the same as the Black Stallion and a majestic animal is he. I didnt make you in the image of darkness; I made you in the likeness of ME! All the colors of a Heavenly Rainbow can be found in people throughout every Nation but when all those colors are blended well; YOU BECAME MY GREATEST CREATION. Your hair is the texture of lambs wool, such a humble little creature is he. I AM the Shepherd who watches them, As I AM THE ONE who watches over thee! You are the color of my midnight skies and the glitter from my stars Ive sprinkled in your eyes. Theres a Beautiful Smile that only I CAN SEE...hidden behind your pain. IVE bronzed your skin without the scorching of the SUN to endure humility, naked and unashamed. Your forefathers bear the same scars on their backs, just as MY ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. Upon your life IVE placed Great Favor for every battle you think youve lost, IN MY KINGDOM YOUVE ALREADY WON! Your stature is strong, your bone structure thick to withstand the burdens of time. My Beloved Daughter That reflection you see in the mirror....The image that looks back is MINE. TARNISHED; I THINK NOT! YOU ARE MY MASTERPIECE CONSTANTLY BEING REFINED! AMEN SHALOM & BLESSINGS
