The measure of a community in peace is how it treats those who are hurting in it.

Mark Goulston challenges us that being "nice means you’re sweet, harmless…and a lightweight; being kind is different- it means you have the power to hurt people, but choose not to.

Oprah Winfrey is kind. She has the power to hurt others—and given some of her difficult childhood might even have a reason to do so—but instead she chooses not to do so."

Romans 2:4
God is kind, but he's not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change.
