    This is my Testimony. What was meant to destroy me God gave me favor. No weapons formed against me shall never prosper. I Am The Living
    Proof . They took their best shot and I’m still standing. All glory and praise goes to my Heavenly Father. Praise His Holy Name. He granted me favor not because I am so good. It was because of His Love, Grace, and His Mercy. Amen! Amen, and Amen!

    I could not leave the theater at the end of the movie when this song came on. The lyrics took me all the way back through the whole movie. Mary J's voice reached right in to my soul and touched me. I could feel everything that happened to the characters. Such a sad time and how people were treated. It was just awful. I just wanted to take their pain away. :(

      I'm a gay man who has had all of my family to abandon me. Even after serving In the military, with 2 big combat tours. 911 and Iraq. I came back wanting open arms, but once I came out I was disowned. That's why this song resonates with me.

      Indeed! Hollywood doesn't like stories like this. Regardless how incredible it is (this one went beyond Incredible). Preferring instead to vote for CGI loaded films, or cotton candy. They claim to be open minded, in fact, those who vote for the movies will never vote for a movie that makes anyone "uncomfortable".

Thank the Lord that i can ask him to help me to keep from saying anything to hurt anyone feelings. I wasn't rsised that way. Viola Davis and Octiva Spencer i love those two ladies.

    I am fighting for justice in a big way. in Canada ..This song empowers me. It is still unbelievable what humanity does to each other..Still cannot believe there is racism over melanin and the pigmentation of skin. There are other injustices as equally as painful. Its about standing up for what is right and true before our God. We were all made in his image.

For those who are down trauded, if the lord can be there for me he will be there for them bless this movie is my favorite of all time . Brava Bravo to all those who had the courage to make it and Bless those who had to live in this nightmare 🙏 🙌 ❤️ 😢❤❤ Wess from Canada

      +saraleinemovies Everyone needs somebody like that in their lives, even if their parents won't provide it. I'm glad to hear your son is being raise by someone who truly care for them. Love is what makes a parent, not genetics. I wish more adopted children wouldn't feel objected because their biological parents didn't want them or couldn't keep them for whatever reason. That doesn't mean that they were rejected; it means their true (adoptive) parents very much wanted them in their lives. Everyone deserves to feel wanted, and I'm glad your son has someone like that in his life. :)

    This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. The lyrics are amazing, beautiful, important to me. Recovering from a harsh addiction, that wasn’t easy. I fell down as many times as I got up. Every time that I heard about someone passing away, it hurt me so bad. The people I knew who were addicted as well as myself, became family to me. The overdose is/ was overwhelming. The part in the song that says, SO MANY DON’T SURVIVE THEY JUST DON’T MAKE IT THROUGH, is what brought the tears down. I couldn’t breathe that’s how much pain I felt. For those that don’t believe in God, I wouldn’t be here testifying if there wasn’t a God!!!! I’M THE LIVING PROOF.. GLORY BE TO YAHWEH FOR ALL HE HAS DONE FOR ME!! FATHER THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME!!! REST IN PEACE AND MY CONDOLENCES 💐 TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO STRUGGLED TO OVERCOME SUCH A DEADLY DISEASE!!!

    This is an amazing song! My son was in the hospital for 50 days recently fighting to live through RSV. It almost took him out several times. I listened to this song over and over during his battle to live. It is as though it was written to tell his story so when we got home, I made a DVD presentation documenting his journey to survive. He literally had to learn to breath again and with the help of a trach tube and ventilator, he is still alive and spreading inspiration to everyone he meets!

    I wish I could have held Aibileen's hand at every moment as she walked through life. The past is filled with countless atrocities and it's up to each one of us to do the right things when it's our turn in our own lives. I can only change the world when I first change me.

    My mom was diagnosed with M.S. before I was born and has been wheelchair bound since I was only a few months old. Through the 27 years of my life there has always been round the clock caregivers in our house to help care for her. I am PROUD to say that all of these beautiful women who have loved to make a difference in a person's life have always been thought of and treated just like members of the family! Just as it always SHOULD have been!

    I’m here after seeing the Help on Netflix...I saw it years ago, and the memories are so Beautiful. All the things happening in this world is so sad that nothing has changed. So much anger and frustration!!! I’m not upset with the riots. The riots are years of pain and bondage! I hope it continues! I hope the freedom of expressing it is enough will continue until the world wake up! Black people do matter👊🏾
