"Which of the three,

do you think,

proved neighbor to the man

who fell among the robbers?"

He said,

"The one who showed mercy on him."

And Jesus said,

        "Go and do likewise."

                      Luke 10. 36

(It's not about accomplishment,

or efficiency,

       but all about loving people

whom God puts on our path.

Mercy for the strangers,

   mercy even for those we know.

Mercy is both undeserved

     and always unexpected.)
