Love is really faith in action and kindness (through giving) is an attribute of love.
The dictionary's definition of kindness is as follows:
the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate
Kindness is not something that has to be prompted or forced, it comes naturally when the love of God has overtaken our heart.
Oh that the we would all be kind, what a different world it would be.
Think on this - how can we effectively mirror God’s love to this world but by "Acts of kindness". May we truly have made up minds and hearts to live abundantly - just simply giving to others at every opportunity.
If we "look" with eyes of love there are many many opportunities to be kind each day.
Ephesians 4:32
Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave [c]you
You may never know how that one "little" act of kindness can make such a difference to the man or woman sitting on that roadside, to that weary mother, the elderly ...to just so many in need. Some may even have been contemplating suicide, even just a phone call with encouraging words can make a difference. Ask God today he will empower and enable you to make the difference even if you may have needs yourself.
May we be that difference today and everyday with the way we love and show kindness
Amen
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
