Ephesians 4:31-32
Kindness is defined as compassion; generosity; favor; gentleness; patience; grace.
Jesus showed us kindness when we did nothing to deserve it. How many times have we stopped short of giving because it would require something slightly inconvenient to us? Jesus watched at the temple in silence as rich men made donations, some of them quite large into the treasury. But then a poor widow placed two small copper coins in the box, barely a fraction of a penny. That was when Jesus spoke up, saying that this woman had given more than any of the others, even the richest of them, because she had made a true sacrifice. Kindness requires sacrifice. It is uncomfortable. It takes willpower and a spirit of kindness in our hearts to choose kindness. But the more we do it, the easier and more natural it will become. It’s a trait that needs prayer, practice, and repetition to become second nature. God makes it clear: showing kindness is a requirement. It’s important to be kind because it can make a difference in the world. We serve a big God. We have no clue what amazing things God can do with our acts of kindness. It could impact someone in ways we never know. One simple act of kindness could completely change someone’s perspective. An act of kindness can bring hope to someone who feels hopeless. Our acts of kindness can be a light in a world that is hostile and indifferent.
I come by this morning to let you know kindness never returns to you void. We must build up instead of tearing down. Real impact happens when we give something of ourselves. Real kindness makes a difference. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
