Narrative Prompt

My experience so far has been genuinely life changing. There is something abut making a difference in individuals lives that has a very deep and personal impact on yourself in the process.
During the first weeks, I did outreach to the community and was amazed by the responses i received. There are very broken people out there that are just searching for any outlet that will lead them to hope.
In one case, I was passing out food to this individual and it was a perfect opportunity to talk to them on a more personal level. They began to tell me their life story and the events that led up to their current situation. I realized that if I'm not careful I can judge by appearance before looking deeper into the person. The whole experience made me realize the influence you can have on a person just by spreading kindness. Some are just looking for another person to acknowledge them and recognize their need! After that week, i have begun doing whatever I can to help spread the Love of God and kindness throughout our community.
Unfortunately, not everyone will receive what you have to offer. Many times I have reached out to certain individuals and rather than accepting it they lashed out.  It's important to realize that you will win some and you lose some. Although you can't win them all, the ones who are reachable, reach pout! But more importantly regardless of some people, kindness DOES make a difference. DONt let one bad experience stop you from changing your community!
