God, Why did You make me Black?
Why did You make someone the world wants to hold back?
Black is the color of dirty clothes, the color of grimy hands and feet.
Black is the color of darkness, the color of tire-beaten streets.
Why did You give me thick lips, a broad nose and kinky hair?
Why did You make someone who receives the hatred stare?
Black is the color of the bruised eye when someone gets hurt.
Black is the color of darkness, Black is the color of dirt.
How come my bone structure's so thick, my hips and cheeks are high?
How come my eyes are brown and not the color of daylight sky?
Why do people think I'm useless? How come I feel so used?
Why do some people see my skin and think I should be abused?
God I just don't understand. What is it about my skin?
Why do some people want to hate me and not know the person within?
Black is what people are "listed" when others want to keep them away.
Black is the color of shadows cast. Black is the end of the day.
God you know my own people mistreat me and I know this just ain't right.
They don't like my hair. They say I'm too dark or too light.
God don't You think it's time for You to make a change?
Why don't You re-do creation and make everyone the same?
GOD ANSWERED:
Why did I make you Black? Why did I make you Black?
Get off your knees and look around. Tell me, what do you see?
I didn't make you in the image of darkness, I made you in likeness of ME!
I made you the color of coal from which beautiful diamonds are formed.
I made you the color of oil, the Black gold that keeps people warm.
I made you from the rich, dark earth that can grow the food you need.
Your color's the same as the black stallion, a majestic animal is he.
I didn't make you in the image of darkness.
I made you in likeness of ME!
All the colors of the heavenly rainbow can be found throughout every nation.
But when all of those colors were blended, you became my greatest creation.
Your hair is the texture of lamb's wool. Such a humble little creature is he.
I am the Shepherd who watches them. I am the One who will watch over thee.
You are the color of midnight sky. I put the stars' glitter in your eyes.
There is a smile hidden behind your pain. That's why your cheeks are so high.
You are the color of dark clouds formed, when I send My strongest weather.
I made your lips full so when you kiss the one that you love,
they will remember.
Your stature is strong, your bone structure is thick ...
to withstand the burdens of time.
The reflection you see in the mirror... The image that looks back is MINE!

This is REALLY beautiful....
"something to ponder on... :p"
CONFIDENCE:
Once all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an
Umbrella...... That's Confidence..
TRUST:
Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby when you throw him in the air, he laughs.....because he knows you will,
Catch him.... that's Trust
HOPE:
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning but still we have plans for the coming
Day....that's Hope..
KEEP CONFIDENCE!
TRUST OTHERS!!
NEVER LOSE HOPE!!
Girls should read this... :p
I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.
FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.
Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."
I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!"
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all
dear, let's go to the cashier."
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled "WHAT?"
I then said "honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....
CHEERS... :)
