Christianity

Martin Luther King Jr.

 

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.

Ecstacy: standing outside of myself
Empathy: being within another

I remember your dad too.
