Our Actions Determine Our Character
“Love your enemies,” He said, “bless them that curse you, do good to
them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully
use you, and persecute you” (Matt. 5:44).
Reflecting on his horrendous wartime experiences, Viktor Frankl recalled:
“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way” (Man’s Search for Meaning [1985], 86; emphasis added).

"Kindness is the essence of greatness and
the fundamental characteristic of the noblest men and women I have known. Kindness is a passport that opens doors and fashions friends. It softens hearts and molds relationships that can last lifetimes."
The Virtue of Kindness, by Joseph B. Wirthlin

Jesus said love ev'ryone;
Treat them kindly, too.
When your heart is filled with love,
Others will love you.
