Walking With Kindness

What is required of us is to do justice, love kindness,

and walk humbly with our God. Micah 6:8

Most of life is lived after the parades are over.

I can see the prophet Micah walking behind a crowd that is celebrating a religious holiday, and noticing people sitting on the side after the parade has passed by. Wondering why, he goes over to find out.
