Default Be Kind

Be Kind!

"One day an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. 'Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?' Jesus replied, 'What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?' The man answered, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 'You have answered correctly.' Jesus replied. 'Do this and you will live!'". (Luke 10:25-28)

There is a quote I have often seen on the internet which says: "Be kind. For everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about." It can be easy to fall into the routine of life; the little mundane things that we do without thinking and not be aware of others. However, one thing we should always remember is to be kind and take a moment to be as Jesus to those we encounter. Whether it be to the cashier who is trying to hurry through a long line of customers, the person who cuts in front of you on the freeway, or even your own children as they ask the 100th question of the day! BE KIND.

As the quote above says, everyone is facing a battle. Some may be experiencing sadness and grief as they remember their loved ones who have passed away. Others may struggle with loneliness or depression. Some may feel additional stress as they may be struggling financially. The truth is we don't know what every person is experiencing. But just as the good Samaritan took a moment to stop and show compassion on the wounded traveler, so should we be ready to show compassion to those around us… our neighbors.

Suggested prayer: Dear God, thank you for loving us so much that you chose to send your Son to be our hope, and through Him, receive eternal life. I pray that you would give me your eyes to see those around me who need to receive kindness and compassion. Use me to be as Jesus to my neighbors. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. In Jesus' name. Amen."
