“CHRISTIANS AND KINDNESS!”

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

“Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted; and forgive each other, just as in the Messiah God has also forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Become useful, helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted, compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted, forgiving one another readily and freely, as God in Christ forgave you.

SHOW KINDNESS AS A CHRISTIAN

You may ask when are we to be kind? Be kind now; begin now to consider the feelings of others and not wait until later.
Remember that today is a gift, but tomorrow is a promise.

Start the act of kindness regardless of how small it is. It will bring forth great results. What are the prerequisites for kindness? Beloved! There are no prerequisites for kindness.

Do not wait until someone shows you kindness before you do but rather start it yourself. Get into the habit of kindness. Remember when kindness is built into our lives, it will become part and parcel of our lives hence it is God’s divine nature.

Maintain an attitude of kindness. Do not seek gratitude or recognition for the kindness you have shown to somebody. Being kind is a blessing for it brings a deep sense of satisfaction because you have exhibited God’s own nature to people.

Always show appreciation to the kindness shown to you. Do not compare yourself to anyone (2 Corinthians 10:12) and do not judge your kindness with others but learn to extend the borders of your kindness and improve its qualities.

Accept kindness from others. Be grateful to it. Do not refrain from receiving kindness from others; otherwise, you will become wise in your own eyes (Proverbs 3:7).

Self-control and self- restraint can be a great act of kindness. (1 Corinthians 6:12 / 10:23)
When you refrain from passing negative comments against others, refrain from putting others down.

KINDNESS IN ACTION
Refrain from every fault-finding mission. Refrain from picking on others.
Refrain from sarcastic negative remarks on others.
Refrain from unnecessary remarks, comments and gossip.

Refrain from judging people based on your sentiments.
Refrain from jumping into conclusions of events and people that you are not sure of.
Refrain from grudge because it is too heavy a load to carry. When you do all these you have shown a great acts of kindness.

Kindness releases moral and spiritual instruction and encouragement.

God showed kindness to Ruth (Ruth 1:8).
Julius showed kindness to Paul (Acts 27:3).
The Bible instructs us to show kindness (Romans 12:10)

THE KINDEST WORD IN THIS WORLD IS AN UNKIND WORD UNSPOKEN!

Everybody shout, “AMEN & AMEN!”

Shalom and good morning.
