We are here to build. ("Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." [Ephesians 4:29]) We are here to care about another's needs and do something about it. It matters that you are hurting. The millions that are hungry, orphaned, without a country, without a home. We all matter.
But the secret to winning the war against contempt is not contempt. It is love, service and grace. "Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”" (Romans 12:20)
If you want to change the worlds response to you, your people or your cause, give grace to your enemy. Be a people of kindness, goodness and grace. Create a movement that builds up and calls out that all lives matter... I'm in... you?
