Today, Lord, I have determined to show acts of kindness. Kindness is a product of the Holy Spirit living in each believer. Kindness will bless both the receiver and the giver. Kindness can break the hardest heart, heal the hurting, and glorify my God. With your help Lord, Today I will show acts of kindness.
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
Fill your pockets with the seeds of kindness and become a "Johnny Appleseed" with the seeds of kindness. When you are kind and respectful to others, you plant a seed of kindness and that seed will grow in any climate. Travel your life journey with the determination and faith that your seeds of kindness will eventually sprout the fruit of kinds. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9
Make God smile! Give someone a pat-on-the-back. When you see someone do something nice, then recognize both the action and the person. By doing so, you will feel good and they will too. Acknowledging good makes God smile. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. Romans 14:19
How you react to a rejected act of kindness is as important as the act of kindness. The Bible teaches us to give expecting nothing in return. When we expect kindness in return for our act of kindness, we have performed that kindness with the wrong motives. Jesus taught us to do our good deeds in secret and our Father in Heaven would do the rewarding. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. -Matthew 6:1-4 What do squirrels and highflying trapeze acts have to do with faith?

You will also find that you will become the recipient of encouraging words. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. ~Romans 14:19
