Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind. – Henry James
We were created to make a difference in the lives of others. All around us are hurting people who need our love and encouragement. Don’t miss the miracle of the moment. Don’t be too busy, or insensitive to the needs of those around you. We shouldn’t miss opportunities to do good whenever situations come across our paths to bless people. When you give to those in need, you are lending to God. And God knows how to pay you back.
Learn to give your time, your money, or an encouraging word. When you show love, you are showing God to the world. And don’t worry if you don’t get any credit.
You are never more like God than when you give. You’re never more like God than when you take time for people, than when you do something to bless someone else. John Bunyan, author of the classic Pilgrim’s Progress once said, “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone that cannot pay you back.”
And not just in the big things. Learn to be good to people in your everyday life. God’s people believe in being good to people. We believe in showing God’s kindness wherever we go.
Love is seen in our actions. This world does not need to hear another sermon nearly as much as it needs to see us being good to people.
Proverbs 19:17
He who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his good deed.
