I’m spending some time listening and watching Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address . Indeed, “The time has come . . .”.
Four paragraphs which need to be heard to those who need to hear it.
“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.
To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict or blame their society’s ills on the West, know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.
To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.
To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds.”
Yet another heart moving and tear jerking speech. I think this guy has a lot of pressure upon him right now. May God continue to be his strength for the nation.
