This is a special broadcast, a message from my heart, the mistakes that I made and the lessons that I learned, that I’m sharing with an open heart. This is a message about our common bonds and our common purpose. Consider this a special scroll of sorts, scroll below the video to find a really important message::
“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.” ~ Deuteronomy 30:19
“Unless you change and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” ~ Matthew 18:3
“Any disaster that strikes you is through what your own hands have earned and He pardons much.” ~ Surat Ash-Shura, 30
“Some piously record ‘In the beginning God’, but I say ‘In the beginning hydrogen’.” ~
The truth is that Christianity is rooted in Judaism and Islam is rooted in Christianity, all three faiths believe in an Abrahamic creator, we just call Him by different names. We are literally arguing over semantics, ironic isn’t it that it’s called semantics. Even atheism, which professes to renounce the existence of God, nonetheless acknowledge that life began at one. What is leading to wars over faith or lack of it is religion that tries to monopolize knowledge we don’t understand and science that attempts to explain everything even though science by its very nature is a search for answers given our incomplete understanding of this world. We have fought wars since we lost tranquility deceived by the apples of our egos. What if we try a new way, to let love be our moral compass so that kindness can profit humanity:: #InvertingFaith Click To Tweet
What if we were humble instead of being arrogant, what if we gave each other grace instead of trying to impose our beliefs? What if earth was heaven all along if only we seek peace instead of wars? I pray for humanity, we are headed towards dark times, but this thing I know, from darkness emerges light. This is not just speculation, four years ago I was homeless and alone and now I’ve been blessed with a wife who is the love of my life and a son who is the light of my soul. May my testimony be an allegory for humanity. Where there are hard moments, we are transformed from dust into diamonds. Amen::
My blessings! I smile when I see this picture because it reminds me that despite what’s happening outside, children continue to get older and love will continue to grow.#FikreBekele #OurLoveGrows pic.twitter.com/72XcmEtkfX
