well my devotion was on the wisdom of kindness. Proverbs 11:17 says, "A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself." kindness is its own reward. and as Christians we need to show kindness to the people around us. God's commandments tell us this. kindness, compassion, and forgivness are hallmarks of the Christian faith, so everywhere we go we need to give honor to God and show everyone kindness and how happy Jesus can make us! Jesus showed compassion for us. now its time to glorify him and show compassion for others. we need not only to show kindness through our words, but also through our actions. St. Teresa said, "The nicest thing we can do for our heavenly father is to be kind to one of His children." and Ambrose of Milan said, "No one heals himself by wounding another" which is totally true, by wounding another we only further the wounds in ourselves. we need not to only think kind thoughts but to also do kind things, and show others that we care! kind talk is good, but we need to show kind action! so go out & do something kind for people :]
i love y'all!
God Bless!
