CONTINUING DR. KING’S LEGACY (INSPIRATIONAL WORDS)

Participants practicing Dr. King's dream

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream. His God was not small, and neither was his dream. The dream was as big as God's dream — that all people could live in peace and that there would be an end to racial injustice and all forms of bigotry. Like many visionaries, Dr. King was maligned and misunderstood in his lifetime, served time in jail, and became the victim of an assassin's bullet.

If we believe in God, but we only love our own kind, our God is too small.

If we only love our own family, our God is too small.

If we only love our own denomination, our God is too small.

If we only love our own religion, our God is too small.

If God loves the whole world, He expects nothing less from us.

This year, in memory of Dr. King and in praise and thanksgiving to the God who inspired his message and his dream, let us put aside whatever manmade barriers have divided us, and worship together as one family under one God.

Let us become truly inspired by the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For members of WFWP, his life has deep significance as we work to promote peace through reconciliation and breaking down the barriers between race, religion, culture, and nationality to see each other as siblings, not rivals. As we are all the children of the one Creator, the Heavenly Parent, we will continue to work to promote "One Family Under God" in all our activities this year.
