They say first impressions are everything, but that’s not true. Some people can be usually happy, kind, and giving, but then something overwhelming happens to them, and when we see them for the first time, they appear cold and unfriendly. Yet, despite their attitude, God wants us to treat them as He treats us—with love and mercy. It may be our smile, kind words, or helping hand that, if even for that moment, allows them to see God’s love in us and breaks the spell of anger or pain they’re going through. Our testimony of God’s love and hope may be why they cross our path.
