If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25‬:‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Disarming by acting unexpectedly removes the weapon from your enemy’s hand.

Those at odds with you don’t expect your kindness to prevail.

But taking the higher road still recognizes and responds to the needs of others despite your differences.

The greatest of these is love. -1 Cor 13

Love is foundational to human existence and relationships; it has the power to inspire, heal, and connect.

Disarming an enemy in this way results in a reward that hastens resolution of conflict by making it personal, assuring the other that you care beyond the conflict.
