“Choose KIND!”

“For me, the most beautiful act that anyone can ever do in all of their lives is simply to be kind. Amen. To truly see who a person is, I look at the kindness they show. Amen. Actions always speak far louder than words ever could for it is the motivation behind being kind that matters. Amen.

God tells us in His Word that when we love, that is how others recognize that we are His children. He says, ‘By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another’ (John 13:35). Amen. And if we are not loving, then we are not showing the Lord in our lives or who we truly are as a person. Amen.

I like to say it this way: ask yourself the question—what is my first response when I am dealing with people? When I am in situations I don’t necessarily want to be in? When someone says something, is my response a “smart mouth,” so to speak? How many times do we choose that? How often are we just mean?

Because here’s the truth: who we are to ourselves, in our own minds and thought life, is who we truly are. Amen. And God does not want us to remain stagnant as His children. He wants us to grow. And since becoming His child, have we changed? Amen. Have we matured? Have we grown past always needing to be right? Have we learned that we don’t always need the last word or a comeback?

Have we come to understand that our hearts are the most precious part of our lives and that it is within them that true change happens? Because it is in that one-on-one relationship between you and God where this beautiful transformation takes place. And as you grow and change, becoming a kind-hearted child of God, loving people where they are, the Holy Spirit begins to work in them too growing and transforming them into who God desires them to be. Amen!

It’s like a ripple effect. When we choose to grow in hard places, when we choose joy regardless, when we accept correction from our Father and change this is when we step into the next level of our lives.

For me, when there is kindness, I see it and feel it more than anything. It makes my heart so happy. A kind spirit, a beautiful, kind heart it is one of the most glorious acts of love, straight from our Father. Praise the Lord!

For kindness is where it’s at in all of our lives. You want to win souls? You want to change the world? You want to see lives transformed and renewed? Then choose to grow in kindness. In every moment, no matter the situation choose to rise above it and be kind.

Live your life for an audience of One, which is Christ Jesus our Lord. For when we choose kindness, it does something to others. Many times, people don’t even feel worthy of kindness because they know their own struggles or how they’ve acted. But when you show it anyway, it can soften even a hardened heart and allow a little light to shine through. Amen.

For God also reminds us that everyone is made in His image, and whatever we do to the least of these, we do unto Him. (Genesis 1:27/Matthew 25:40). Amen.

I think about Simon Peter, who said, ‘Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord’ (Luke 5:8). For even Peter, one of the closest to Jesus, recognized his own sinfulness. Amen. Just like all of us we are still imperfect at times. We still struggle. We still battle between good and evil daily.

But this morning, I pray that each of us chooses to do more good than evil. Amen. That we choose to be better, to be loving, to be kind. Amen. For little is much when God is in it. Amen.

God takes even the smallest act of kindness and multiplies it abundantly throughout the world. Amen. And as we all know we are to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. (Matthew 7:12/Luke 6:31). So let us choose KIND..let us choose it every day of our lives to the very best of our ability. Always knowing that we are through our kindness spreading God and His glory and His most prized possession the gospel of Jesus Christ! Praise the Lord!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
