When people around you are hurting, it is an invitation.
It’s an invitation & opportunity to show kindness, understanding, & sincerity.
- Critics judge and react.
- But Christ lovers respond...with kindness.
"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (Eph. 4:32)
My reaction to the pain of others is a portrait of my character, my compassion and my caring.
Many times people try their best to conceal their hurt and God is the only who sees their tears. We all fight battles not everyone knows about. And the endurance of others is often unseen.
Kindness...is a magnet drawing the wounded.
It is the example Jesus modeled for us.
"For His merciful kindness is great toward us..." (Psalms 117:2)
TODAY:
I pray that we all do likewise!
