MAIN
IDEA:
Kindness is doing
something and not expecting anything in return.
In Colossians 3:12 we are told that as God’s chosen people we are to
clothe ourselves with kindness among other virtues. The Bible is full of stories of
kindness. I’m reminded of the four
friends that brought their paralyzed friend to see Jesus so he could be healed
as one of many great examples for us to follow. God wants us to show kindness to
others. But we are to show kindness to
honor God, not ourselves. There are many
ways we can show kindness. Here are a
few examples you might try- 1)when at a restaurant drive thru-pay for the
person’s meal behind you, 2)open the door for someone at a department store,
3)offer to baby sit for a single mom or take a widow out to lunch. A simple act
of kindness can have a big impact.
