Amy Rose is the heart of Team Sonic in more ways than one… while most of her teammates tend to fight first and ask questions later, Amy shows her strength by choosing to seek peaceful resolutions to conflict before engaging in battle. But Amy is not a pushover either… her meekness is balanced with her ability to wield a massive hammer to defend herself and her comrades any time push comes to shove. And more often than not, the key to victory is not found in Knuckles raw combat abilities or Sonic’s blazing speed, but in Amy’s gentle and patient approach to find common ground and defuse the situation before it escalates to a war that nobody wins. Her goal isn’t to defeat her adversaries in battle, but to use this situation to convert them into allies.

There will be many times in our lives that we will be brought into a place of conflict with those who don’t share our faith, but the question we must ask ourselves before engaging is are we seeking to win an argument or lovingly guide a soul towards Christ? The Bible explicitly states that the weapons of our warfare are designed to tear down spiritual strongholds, not people… so before we pick that hammer up, let’s pause and allow Him to answer through us in meekness and gentleness, not anger. Jesus didn’t come to defeat the lost, He came to seek and save them.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear. 1 Peter 3:15

And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth. 2 Timothy 2:24-25
