The Little Black Boy by William Blake

This poem really touch my heart that I want to share this with everyone...

The Little Black Boy

My mother bore me in the southern wild,
And I am black, but oh my soul is white!
White as an angel is the English child,
But I am black, as if bereaved of light.

My mother taught me underneath a tree,
And, sitting down before the heat of day,
She took me on her lap and kissed me,
And, pointed to the east, began to say:


"Look on the rising sun: there God does live,
And gives His light, and gives His heat away,
And flowers and trees and beasts and men receive
Comfort in morning, joy in the noonday.


"And we are put on earth a little space,
That we may learn to bear the beams of love
And these black bodies and this sunburnt face
Is but a cloud, and like a shady grove.


"For when our souls have learn'd the heat to bear,
The cloud will vanish, we shall hear His voice,
Saying, 'Come out from the grove, my love and care
And round my golden tent like lambs rejoice',"


Thus did my mother say, and kissed me;
And thus I say to little English boy.
When I from black and he from white cloud free,
And round the tent of God like lambs we joy


I'll shade him from the heat till he can bear
To lean in joy upon our Father's knee;
And then I'll stand and stroke his silver hair,
And be like him, and he will then love me.


William Blake

God's Busy

God's Busy

If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!!!

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU ..

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in he looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.' The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop..

Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God. I'm still waiting.' It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.

The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked, stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy today protecting soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'



And all God's people said,-- AMEN!


One of my friend posted this in her facebook...I just love this story and it is worth to share with everyone..We need to stand up for God...God is an awesome God...

How Well Do You Know God?

From the book "The Called...The Chosen...

What is God really like? Is He a God of love - or a God of stern judgment and destruction? Did He make a law He knew nobody could keep - then condemn them to death when they failed to keep it? Does He hold out the carrot of heaven and eternal life as a reward for good behavior, only to apply the stick of punishment when we behave badly? When He asks us to love Him, is it "Love me - or else?

My comments:
Here is what I asked to other people;
Do you read God's Words (Bible) or do you listen to what people say? How do you know if the people are saying is true? Do you live your life by what people say, even if you don't know for sure they are right?

Read God's Words (Bible) to find out for yourself what is true and the right way to live. Find out for yourself who is God really is. Find out if what people say match with what God said.

So, we should be asking ourselves this question: How well do I know God?
