Provoking Good Deeds And Love

Contributed by Jeremy Harbin on Feb 16, 2020

"Provoking" is the ability to call forth a reaction, feeling, or emotion from another. The reaction is usually unwanted. What if we used this power to call out the good in our neighbor?

We might think of the guy who cuts us off on the interstate, and he doesn’t even use his blinker when he does it . He ...read more
