KINDNESS: The quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. To be gentle, caring, and helpful. The sincere voluntary use of one’s time, talent, and resources to better the lives of others…through genuine acts of love, compassion, generosity, and service.
1 Corinthians 13:4 says that love is kind. Kindness is, therefore, love in action. What I know as a fact is that kindness is a choice we make. Unlike most things where we deploy the power of choice, choice makes kindness convenient.
Here is what I mean. Everyone, and I mean everyone who has the capacity to choose, can be kind. The reason is because the one who extends kindness is the one who determines how to be kind.
The range is wide, from something as simple as a hug to the grand gesture, we are at liberty to choose how we can be kind within the capacity that we have.
Recently, someone I know got robbed at gun point, and her car was taken with her in it. The thieves dropped her off along the way after taking all she had on her. She had to walk for a distance where she saw some street ‘boys’, also known as area boys. Guess what? In that moment, the area boys who we all are wary of made a decision to be kind to her. They gave her money and put her in a bus home.
Here is the point. Kindness is rare in the world, so when we show kindness, we are quick to do a photo op. Yet, kindness is one of the easiest things to show because we determine what our act of kindness gets to be.
Back to the account of the sister who was robbed. A couple of weeks later, even the thieves decided to be kind. They returned her car. Parked it somewhere and called her to go and pick it up.
Dear friend, we all can be kind if we desire to be so.
Today, ask yourself, who can I show kindness, and what act will it be?
Kindness only needs to be genuine. It doesn’t need to be grand every time.
Holy Spirit, please inspire me to be kind in Jesus’ name. Teach me kindness.
Embrace Your Super Power!
Salvation Prayers
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
