One of the great tools that Christians have for changing the world for the better is kindness. It is how we can show the world that Jesus is for real in our lives, making us His ambassadors, changing our communitites one kind act at a time. By doing kind acts, you are helped to see good in yourself, and bring the good out in others. Never get tired of doing little things for others. Sometimes, those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts. Helping someone to smile may make their day, or even their week.
Stephen Grellet, a Quaker Minister in 19th century France, put it well: "I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."
Life is what you make it. Take every opportunity to support someone. You will never know when a person will need to borrow your ears to hear,or your heart to listen. Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. Isn't it amazing how often we can touch someone's life, and enrich our own, by a very simple act? Kindness is powerful, so pass it on! It is a wonderful way in which to pattern our lives, to be amassadors for Jesus, bringing kindness, mercy and love!
Christians must unite in a war for peace in our families, churches, and communities-- do simple acts of kindness every day, in every way that you can. "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." : Matthew 5:16.
