Pause and Pray: 9 Days of the Fruit of the Spiritনমুনা
Let’s Share Jesus’ Kindness
Being focused on others is the authentic lifestyle of a heart devoted to Jesus. The many stories in the Bible of Jesus’ life on earth tell of his love and devotion to others everywhere he traveled. He sought out those opportunities to serve others and show them kindness.
The smallest act of kindness can transform someone’s life. Searching for ways to make a difference is how Jesus lived. Only he knows the future and the needs ahead, which is a stark contrast to our lack of insight, but we can open our ears and listen for opportunities. With our eyes, let’s seek opportunities to help fulfill God’s plan. With our hearts, let’s never miss a chance to make a difference and show kindness to everyone we encounter.
Today’s color of the day is yellow. Whenever you see something yellow, find a way to share Jesus’ kindness with someone around you. Consider sending a friend a card of encouragement. And then at 1:11 p.m., pause and pray with believers around the world, thanking God for the kindness he has given you.
Jesus of kindness, we ask you to help us embrace your ways so that we will see others through your eyes and hear others as you do. Help us act on the needs you put before us and never miss an opportunity to show your loving goodness, your kindness, your tenderness, your gentleness, and your generosity to those you arrange in our pathway every day.
