Great comments all...individual kindness, small, big, or in between goes a long way to making another persons day, hard to do as well. I despise my son-in-law for all the pain and problems he has caused over the years. But, never, ever talk bad about him to his kids. Am always kind and greet him with a smile and frim handshake.
I believe Jesus trun the other cheek DOES not mean you let an other abuse you, rather, it does tie in with his core message. The Prodigal Son, The Good Samaritain, love your neighbor as yourself. All examples of encourgement and love shown to others.
More door knocking, more meetings, more wt book study ( not the Bible mind you ) does not focus on other's needs. It is selfish and moronic, simply because it shifts the focus on YOU, not what can be done for people in general.
