“An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.” Proverbs 12:25

Sometimes, we become busy in the hectic moments of our days. We forget to encourage one another and show that we care. God wants us to recognize the needs of those around us. He helps us examine our hearts. And, when we are ready to notice, He provides everything we need to make a difference in their lives. 

Kindness is sharing with a heart of good will. It allows us to reach and teach others. Christ said we should clothe ourselves with compassion and kindness. Col. 3:12 says, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." 

We won’t always know how God will use us to serve His children. But, He will humble our hearts to their needs. He will open our eyes to see beyond our own interests and help us recognize why loving others will always begin by loving HIM. 

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5: 16 Let us love one another.

Dear God, Thank you for Your everlasting love for us. Forgive us when we don't recognize the needs of those who need to experience the power of Your amazing grace. Humble our hearts and use us Lord; so we will glorify YOU, in the way we choose to care for Your children. Let the words we speak be pleasing to You and healing in the hearts of those who are anxious. Amen
