I know people have their opinions about who Michael Jackson is ( I won't say was because his memory will never die ) but that's just it an opinion. Some christians are even afraid to mourn his death in fear of being judge by other christians.
Well I'm not, I've never been the kind to care what people think about me or pass judgement on my actions.
Michael Jackson was not a celebrity to me, I didn't have to sit in a room with him to know who he is. Because through his music he shared what was in his heart, his love for those in need and the pain he felt towards injustice.
Much of the money made during his tours and sales went into charities, for HIV/AIDS, cancer, burnt victims and where ever there was a need.
I went to the Apollo theater to give my respects, as I read the wall, I was a bit upset...because I know some of these people are hypocrites to the vendors on the streets selling t-shirts with his face. How many of them believed in him or understood him?
As a child I would awake and say a prayer for Michael, that one day people would understand him, that he will get to heaven. I loved him as the friend I never had and always wanted. On his birthday I'd ask God to give him peace.
His death should be a wake up call to many. Whatever you build on this earth stays on this earth, the money, the house, the cars etc. But the one thing that matters is what message did you leave. How many people did you help, did you really love your neighbour. What is your legacy ? Did others see Jesus in you ?
Yeah she/he went to church every day...but had a attitude, was judgemental, was a gossip, a murmurer.
Michael Jackson did something Elvis couldn't even do...he took elvis crown and became an international icon. Put a group of people of all ages from around the world in a room, and ask them who is Michael Jackson and trust me they'll probably name the same songs, dont know english but would be able to sing it..lol. That's the impact he left on the world, not just the US.
The World will forever try to imitate his dance moves. Michael Jackson open the doors of having black music on Mtv, it was never done before his reps had to threaten Mtv if they didn't play his video they'd pull all their other artist videos. People don't know about those facts. There's alot more to people besides the opinions we create in our minds.
One of my prayers was answered, I met someone who actually understood Michael, he could analysis every song and tell you the message.
I don't know where he was with God, but I hope that prayer was answered. It would be fun seeing him teach Moses the moonwalk.
We know him as an icon, but to the Jacksons he was family..and no matter what opinion ( opinion is not a fact ) we may have, pray for his kids and relatives. Death is hard on everyone.
Michael Jackson's message is '' we are the world'' and " man in the mirror ".
As a christian I believe that message. Talk is always cheap but when we become proactive only then can we bring the change. Before all this.
I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could've
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make That . . .
Change!
If I don't walk according to God's word, how do I expect to make a change? How do I expect people to want to make a change?
We have to get it right, quit pointing fingers at the catholics, muslims , jehovah witnesses, homosexuals and all outcast and go look in the mirror. The gospel starts with us, our life style.
Michael was a music genius, a perfectionist a humanitarian a child prodigy...and with most gifted people there's always a uniqueness in their thinking and the way they lived.
I pray he was right with God, ...my message to everyone quit judging people who lived differently, our judgemental words don't save me. Take the time to get to know them and make a difference in their life. I know we make a fuss when christian singers mingle with secular singers..but who's going to shine the light if we remove ourselves from those in darkness. I didn't get a chance to sit with Michael and talk about Jesus, but we still have a chance to those who are still living.
God bless everyone who took the time to read this...please keep the Jackson's in prayer.
thank you.
