kindness has a powerful purpose.
Goodness in the face of badness gets people's attention. It makes people stop and notice that your response wasn't measured in wrong, even though it would have been justified. I was a little wide-eyed when I first read Proverbs 25:21-22, where it says when we give good to our enemies, it's like we're pouring coals of fire on their heads.
what do you see
What do you see when you look at me
Hunched and broken under the tree
Holes in my shoes and stench in the air
No shower to wash my scraggly hair
I slept in the woods as you drove by
You glanced, but didn’t hear my cry
