The power of being kind
Reading Time: < 1 minute
This week, I’ve been overwhelmed with the simple realization that kindness is a superpower.
It breaks down barriers.
It can stop an angry person in his tracks (Prov. 15v1).
A kind word can unlock the secrets of another’s heart, or be the key that activates healing from a past wound (Prov. 25v11).
Kindness makes people think about God differently because most people don’t consider God to be kind.
But he is, friend.
And because he is, we find ourselves changing in ways we never dreamed of. We live with new rhythms, new joy, and new hope (Rom. 2:4).
The power of being kind began with God, and we build his kingdom every time we share his kindness with others.
Forget killing people with kindness; let’s bring them back to life with it!
