Our world is filled with hate. Division. Prejudice. Hurt upon hurt.
How does this happen?

Or the senior citizen at the store who doesn't realize the difference between swiping and a chip?

Stop making life painful for others - and yourself. God says it verrrrrrrrrrrry clearly:
Be. Ye. Kind.
"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:32
