Wait ( Jeremiah 1 v 6 - 9 )

In an imperfect world it is hard to know what do ,it is hard to know should one raise one's voice ,or to stay silent.My mother used to say 'whatever you say, say nothing', If you say nothing things will just continue on, you say something things may get worse,you end up being attacked,causing division,hurt,pain ,misunderstanding, and yet things may ,I say may ,get better. I admire Martin Luther King,JR, his courage,and yet if he had not acted and not spoken out ,things would not have changed,and he would not have lost his life.,likewise Gandhi ,When Martin was in prison ,a newspaper was slipped to him, in it was an article by 8 clergymen, they  criticized what he was doing,saying what he was doing was unwise and untimely.One of the things he said  about this was,'For years I have heard the word''Wait'' ,it rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity This ''Wait'' has always meant ''Never''......We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God given rights'. And so he went on following His dream,the waiting time was over,the fight continued,
