3 And now, O king, if thou wilt spare our lives, we will be thy servants. And the king said unto them: Arise, for I will grant unto you your lives, and I will not suffer that ye shall be my servants; but I will insist that ye shall administer unto me; for I have been somewhat troubled in mind because of the generosity and the greatness of the words of thy brother Ammon; and I desire to know the cause why he has not come up out of Middoni with thee.

I could ponder all day on this verse- the King's heart was softened and ready to believe because of the love and kindness of Ammon. And maybe some of the truth he shared shook him a little too.


Ammon was just being himself and that was enough to completely prick the heart that was hardened. Had he never been the recipient of sincere kindness before?


We never know what good we might do as we interact with others and let God's light shine.
