INTENTIONAL ACTS OF KINDNESS
“Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence or learning.”
Act 10:38 "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
Rom 2:4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
The word “Goodness” in the verse above, can accurately be translated, “Kindness." Psalm 145:9 tells us that God is good or kind to all! That means that God has shown kindness to even Adolph Hitler, Charles Manson, Vlad the Impaler and a host of other evil people!
Kindness is at the very core of God’s being. The Kindness of God was born into us when we were born again. The crux of the matter is, will we decide to pour it out on the just and even the unjust? God has been so merciful and kind to me, that I dare not fail to show the same, even to the worst of the worst, because except for the grace of God, there go I! Everyone you meet is fair game! Can you think of someone you need to go out of your way to show the goodness and kindness of God? An intentional act of kindness could lead them to repentance that brings salvation! (see 2Cor. 7:10) HALLELUJAH!
Every blessing!
