No Greater Love

Today is the day we recognize this one man.   A great leader.  A Christ follower. A Son. A Brother.   
"I still believe that love is the most durable power in the world. Over the centuries men have sought to discover the highest good. This has been the chief quest of ethical philosophy. This has been one of the big questions of Greek philosophy. The Epicureans and the Stoics sought to answer it; Plato and Aristotle sought to answer it. What is the summum bonum of life? I think I have discovered the highest good. It is love. This principle stands at the center of the cosmos. As John says, “God is love.” He who loves is a participant in the being of God. He who hates does not know God."

A Father.  A Husband. A Preacher. A Servant to all of Humanity.

"Always be sure that you struggle with Christian methods and Christian weapons. Never succumb to the temptation of becoming bitter. As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him. Always avoid violence. If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in your struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos."

A Poet. A Philosopher.  A Teacher. A Student. 
A man whose only mission was to promote LOVE.
“There is no greater love than this: that a person would lay down his life for the sake of his friends.” John 15:13
Because of Hate and Fear  He never got to see his grandchildren. He didn't get to witness the first Black President. He never even saw his 40's. 
Despite his short time here, he was A world changer. His words carry weight because he backed them with the actions that eventually killed him. His voice is still heard today. And hopefully will be heard for many more years to come. 
I'm beyond thankful that I live in a country that recognizes men just like Martin Luther King jr. It is my hope and prayer on this day that we won't silence the voice of love.  That all of us will work together to be love promoters and in doing so become world changers in our own right.
