The Wisdom of Kindness

Kind people do themselves a favor, but cruel people bring trouble on themselves. - Proverbs 11:17

If we believe the words of Proverbs 11:17 - and we should - then we undersand that kindness is its own reward. And, if we are to obey the commandments of our Savior - and we should - we  must sow seeds of kindness wherever we go.

Kindness, compassion, and forgiveness are hallmarks of our Christian faith. So today, in honor of the One who first showed compassion for us, let's teach our families and friends the art of kindness through our words and through our deeds. Our loved ones are watching...and so is God.

Prayer from the Blogger:
Jesus,
You want us to be kind to others. This shows a gentle heart. Help us Lord, through tough situations to continuously show the kindness that You showed to us while we were still enemies of the Father.
Amen

Digging Deeper:
Read the following passage -

Proverbs 11:17-21

New Century Version (NCV)

Kind people do themselves a favor,
but cruel people bring trouble on themselves.
An evil person really earns nothing,
but a good person will surely be rewarded.

Those who are truly good will live,
but those who chase after evil will die.

The Lord hates those with evil hearts
but is pleased with those who are innocent.

Evil people will certainly be punished,
but those who do right will be set free.

Challenge:
Teach our families and friends the art of kindness through our words and through our deeds.
