Mercy on Kwame

Kwame Kilpatrick, Detroit, Michigan's former mayor, is infamous for his political propaganda as if his sins aren't immutable. Although he's accomplished much for Detroit, the media, citizens, and other inhabitants worldwide relay an impudent perspective about Mr. Kwame. Most speculators have judged this man to eternal damnation with requital in their calloused hearts. Some are so diabolical to perpetuate Mr. Kilpatrick's unlawful deeds in a book as if he's Detroit's nightmare when indeed the City is congested with poverty, drug addicts and dealers, car jackings, and worst including, their educational crisis within the school system. Surely there's relevant dilemmas to pen or dialogue that's beneficial for the City. Mr. Kilpatrick didn't birth sin, Satan did, and his schemes are beyond the former mayor. So why are his advocates still preying on Kilpatrick? This man has served his prison sentence, lost his license to practice law along with vigorous repercussions, yet still persecuted and punished by the judicial system, media, and citizens, as if they've never fallen short of God's glory.

The Word states be merciful just as your Father is merciful to you. I don't condone Kilpatrick's sin; neither will I condemn this man to hell because God is indeed his judge. Mr. Kilpatrick can be reprimanded legally without the hatred, derogatory slander, and defamation of character that we all would have if the good Lord exposed us. God doesn't smack our faces everyday for our past or present sins, He justifies, restores, and forgives, and He continues to love us regardless if our sins cost one million dollars in restitution. He's merciful people. Today is 2010 and Mr. Kilpatrick is still the top story in Detroit and he's relocated to rebuild his career. Isn't that appropriate after the fall? As Christians we are to uplift people not continue to knock them down. Where's the kindheartedness and forgiveness? God will judge this adulterated world at the proper time, until then our duty as Christians is to love and have mercy on all. Have mercy on Mr. Kilpatrick because if you don't, Lord have mercy on you. It's just that simple.
