Barack Obama: On social Justice at a national prayer breakfast event.
President Barack Obama made a heart felt speech in the White House Prayer Room today when he engaged every one to view their faith as a form not only of developing a personal relationship with God but also that it is a moral obligation as a person of Faith to seek out Social Justice as a cause and develop empathy among one another. By engaging in dialogue he spoke of the intercession of God’s Grace. In other words if we learn to communicate with each other then God will pour down his Divine blessings and Grace on such an auspicious event.
If we truly want God in our lives then we have to develop at least a God like instinct in order to recognize God in all of our actions. How we speak, eat and above all inter act plays a role in the kind of God consciousness we may awaken in ourselves and above all help awaken in others. Empathy and Compassion are the real driving forces behind true or Divine Love. Without these two components Love can not flow through the Heart of Mankind.
It is time now for real change and Obama is helping to catapult real moral change from within the White House to the rest of the World. If any one can really succeed in the pursut of Happiness then it is definitely Barack Obama.
I don’t think religion is the only way to develop empathy and compassion, but I’m always gratified when someone finds it in their religion. Too often, I see the opposite.
Good for our President.
I am glad he is appealing to people of all faith and not falling into that notion of one faith being better than another. I think those ideas are why the world is in so much of a mess and why so many people turn away from religion in general. Good luck to him
