A Reputation of Kindness

What would you say your reputation is? We all have one, even if we don't realize it. A reputation is the world's perception of someone based on their interpretation of that person's actions. To a Jew, the Good Samaritan inherited the reputation of all Samaritans; an enemy, one who doesn't believe in the God of Abraham. But the Good Samaritan's actions produce a different kind of reputation; one of kindness, mercy, hospitality and love. Instead of making reputations of people based on assumptions, let's get to really know who they are.
