Romans 12:20-21 - "On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Imagine kindness as a nourishing pot of soup that brings comfort and sustenance. Just as a warm meal satisfies hunger, kindness satisfies a need for connection and understanding. The verses from Romans 12:20-21 guide us to "overcome evil with good" and demonstrate kindness even to those who may oppose us.
In your interactions, let your kindness be a force that overcomes negativity. Just as providing food and drink to an enemy's need surprises and transforms, your acts of kindness can bring about a change of heart. By choosing good over evil, you embody the transformative power of God's love.
