We need Love

A cool brother once song "I need Love.."
I need love for myself
I need love for my people
We need love to face the struggle
We must love to be His disciples
Our enemies taught us not to love ourselves
to hate ourselves, to disconnect,
to be numb to hurt and the pain of 500 years
of slavery, oppression, degradation, exploitation,
humiliation, segregation, assimilation, and mis-education
Because they knew that if we found true Love
our power
our hope
our salvation
would be restored
would be realized
would be resurrected from the dead
Love is what we need now
Love is what will bring life again to all our dead
Love is what will separate us from the dead
Therefore, I sing too, " I need Love"
For love is the fulfillment of all God's Law
With Love I can overcome all things
With Love no evil shall enter in, nor will it ever win.

2 John 1:6

Must see movie- Da 5 Bloods, by Spike Lee. This movie digs deep into what love looks like in action among ourselves, as we try to navigate this system of oppression and lies. It express the bond that exist when we connect with each others and are committed to our people and their hurts and pains. In it's own way it encourages us to love each others, to forgive each others, and to never give up on each others ( showing on Netflix).

Here is an interview with one of the elders of the movie:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grZmHxFd24M
