Ephesians 4:32 (NKJV) 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
Kindness seems to have gone out of style for so many. The world is a very busy place, and our lives have gotten busier and busier.
In all of our hustle and bustle, we can tend to get edgy and cranky. And this can make it easy for us to lash out at others over the smallest little things.
Here’s what we all need to understand; everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes we just get hurrying around and make choices in a split second. And those kinds of choices can have drastic outcomes from time to time.
We can say something with the wrong tone that causes conflict or hurts someone’s feelings.
We can make a quick move that puts us or others in danger, like maybe not paying close enough attention while driving a car.
We can make an irrational decision, the outcome of which has lasting effects on our life and the lives of others.
It’s critical that we heed God’s word and sow kindness, tenderheartedness and forgiveness to others. Why? Because God has done the very same for us, through Jesus.
So, let’s slow down, make decisions and choices with a sound mind and the Spirit of God guiding us. And heed His promptings.
Our lives and the lives of others will be much better for it, as we shine His light and sow His kindness to those around us each and every day.
