Black Lives Matter Isn’t Just a Movement: It's a blog movement Welcome!
Welcome to Black Lives Matter in Life! I am your host and writer: Tatiana Grubb.
Now, I am a woman of color. And, I see something in the supernatural that people don't see in the natural.
What do I mean?
First, people should recognize men and women of color and not be racist. Racism is a big issue and in today's world, it's gotten worse.
Second, I feel so SORRY for those men and women of color who died and were murdered trying to protect our freedom while at the mercy of white people. This is NOT OKAY!! Murder has not been okay ever since the following: Genesis 4:5-8 NIV
but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. [6] Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? [7] If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” [8] Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
You're probably thinking: How does this portray black lives? Look a little closer at the next verse: Genesis 4:9-16 NIV
Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” [10] The LORD said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. [11] Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. [12] When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.” [13] Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is more than I can bear. [14] Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” [15] But the LORD said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. [16] So Cain went out from the LORD’s presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
My point is this: Ever since long ago, murdering black and white people is STILL not okay!
On the joyous side, Jesus took time for compassion. It didn't matter to Him what color you were, He just loved on you. To Him, you were just another lost and lonely soul that needed Him and grace!
That's all for now! Tune in next week to find out more about why black lives and all lives matter!
God bless you!
