To the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:20-21
This is a tall order and completely contrary to our human nature. But it goes to heart of the Gospel.
We are servants of God and it is our assignment to do our best to represent the love of God in the world. This means that sometimes we have to go out of our way to be kind to people who we think do not deserve kindness.
It is, after all, more important to do the right thing than to be right.
Be kind.
