We’ve got difficulties ahead, but it really don’t matter to me now, cause I’ve been to the mountain top. and I don’t mind. Like anybody I would like to live a long life. But I’m not concerned about it now. I just wanna do God’s will. and He’s allowed me to go the mountain. I’ve looked over. I’ve seen the promise land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we’ll get to the promise land!!! So I’m happy tonight, I’m not worried about anything, I’m not fearing any man. My eyes have seen he glory of the coming of the Lord.
— the speech of the great Dr. King on the night before he was assassinated in April 4, 1968
though he grew up in a pastor’s home, MLK jr. used to ‘doubt’ Christianity and the resurrection of Jesus Christ up until the age of 13. It was not until he found many ‘profound truth’ in the bible that he started to go radical for it. (wow, I’m not the only “bad” pastor’s kid :p)
he took his faith a million step further since then, by understanding how God the Creator sees human as equally precious as one another, and by turning this understanding into an action when the world desperately needed someone to stand up for equality.
as a result? his house was bombed twice, his family received death threats, imprisonment (he was jailed 12 times), assassination…and…..
……a crown of glory in Heaven, a fulfilled dream, a legacy, and a better world.
see, a true King demonstrates power through love. a true King serves.

Hate cannot drive out hate. only LOVE can do that”
Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty. I am Free at last.
Happy dr. King’s day everyone 
may you dream like the King today.
