How To Show Kindness!
"Add to your faith…
brotherly kindness."
2 Peter 1: 5, 7
Earlier in the year, two police
officers in
Oklahoma received a report of someone
yelling for help. They responded to the
call and followed the voice.
When they came upon the distressed individual,
they found not one human but a goat. The goat's
cry sounded like “Help!” The animal had become
separated from its mate, and the officers kindly
guided it back to its companion.
If we listen carefully nowadays, we can hear cries
for help coming from many different places. People
need a kind shoulder to lean on, a kind friend to talk
with, a kind word to encourage them, or some help
kindly given.
Showing kindness to others is something we as
Christians simply do! Proverbs 19:22 says, “What
is desired in a man is kindness.” And Romans 12:
10 says, “Be kindly affectionate to one another with
brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one
another.”
Kindness is among items we call
the fruit
of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). Praise God
today that kindness of Jesus is available
for you to duplicate in the power of the
Holy Spirit.
"Kindness has been
called the small coin
of
love."
