This came from a sermon, "I sat at that table thinking about that little girl and thinking about the fact that she could be taken away from me any minute. And I started thinking about a dedicated, devoted and loyal wife, who was over there asleep... And I got to the point that I couldn't take it any more. I was weak... And I discovered then that religion had to become real to me, and I had to know God for myself. And I bowed down over that cup of coffee. I will never forget it...I prayed a prayer, and I prayed out loud that night. I said "Lord, I'm down here trying to down whats right. I think the cause that we represent is right. But Lord, I must confess that I'm weak now. I'm faltering. I'm losing courage." ...And it seemed at the that moment that I could hear an inner voice saying to me, " Martin Luther, stand up for righteousness. Stand up for justice. Stand up for truth. And lo I will be with you, even until the end of the world." I heard the voice of Jesus saying to still fight on. He promised never to leave me alone. No never alone. No never alone. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone. This is from the book Soul Survivor page 20-21. Doesn't that make you wonder if such a great man can feel like he is weak and the pray for help from God and then he received his answer and became such a great role model and leader for the civil rights movement. Matthew 18:2-5 NIV he called a little child to him and placed the child among them. And he said: " Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me." @Richard Wortman- Soul Survivor Richard Wortman-Soul Survivor Henri Nouwen Richard Wortman-Soul Survivor Mahatma Gandhi Richard Wortman-Conculsion Richard Wortman Soul Survivor Summary
