The Blessing of Kindness
Be kind and honest and you will live a long life; others will respect you and treat you fairly.
Proverbs 21:21 (GNB)
There are blessings that motivate us to be kind. Treating people with kindness will help us keep our heart and attitude running in the right direction. Otherwise, we can easily become selfish and indifferent towards others. Christian kindness is tender-hearted. If the heart is hard on the inside and the manners are meek and polite and helpful on the outside, it is not Christian kindness. The idea behind "tender-hearted" is that our insides are easily touched.
Kindness causes us to act by words or deeds to help meet the needs and concerns of others, even of those who don’t deserve it. That’s the kindness God extends to us – He forgives, shows us favour, and helps us even though we don’t deserve it. Be encouraged to intentionally perform acts of kindness every day. This is how we are to treat others. It is a key to living the Christian life – being kind! So why not be kind and watch the blessings flow! This is your day.
Wisdom Fountain: "What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?"
Prayer: Father Lord, thank You for Your endless love and for showing me how to love others. Bless the kindness I share with the world. Give me a pure heart that gives without expecting anything back. May the small seeds of grace I plant bring comfort to the hurting, joy to the lonely, and light to dark places. Just as Your word promises that those who refresh others will be refreshed, let Your goodness flow back into my life in Jesus’ name.
