Be Kind

For length of days and years of life

they will add to you.

Do not let kindness and truth leave you;

Bind them around your neck, 

write them on the table of your heart.

So you will find favor and good repute

in the sight of God and man.

Proverbs 3:2-4

It is easy to be kind when we are feeling great and things in our lives are going well. What about the days when we are not feeling so great and things are not going so well in our lives?  Do you struggle with being kind in those days?  I know I do!  It is in those days, that we need to remember Proverbs 3:2-4.  Keep kindness with you always.

When God speaks of kindness in this verse, he doesn't want us to only be kind to the people we know.  God wants us to be kind to everyone, even if we do not know them and even if they are not kind to us.  This definitely takes me out of my comfort zone, but I know God will be right there with me. I believe it will strengthen me in the end.

Be kind to everyone you meet even if they are not kind to you.  You never know, what battle they are fighting and your kind words or deeds could be just what they needed.


"Thank you Lord for taking me out of my comfort zone and giving me the courage to be kind even in a difficult situation."

Many Blessings,
