A kid was asked to do an assignment, "If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?" |
Like it or not, people will judge us by our actions. Small
acts of kindness are not insignificant gestures, they are thoughtful expressions
which say, without verbalization, “God
loves you.” Unfortunately, to many, small acts of kindness are becoming a
lost art. Don’t let this happen. Be the one who still place on importance on
small acts of kindness which make others feel important in the eyes of God and
you.
It is good for us to know
that people are not so interested in hearing us expound on our particular philosophy
of life or our theological knowledge on everything. I’m not saying that all of
these are not important – it is! – But first people are more interested in
seeing how our beliefs and convictions are working.
Our actions are reflections of our thinking and
theology. If others see that we are
joyful, self-control, patient, kindness, truthful, they will ask what we are
doing to make these things happen. How God have changed your life. There is not
need to be “preachy” because, as the
saying goes, “More
truth is caught than taught.” Religious people may talk about peace,
love, faith and their great happiness in religion, but all we have to do is
look at their lifestyles to know just how well it is working. Lord Jesus puts
it this way about the false prophets and those who claim their pious religiosity:
“By their fruits you will know them”
(Matthew 7:16, 7:20). Are you exercising your faith now?
The Holy Spirit be with you. Amen.
THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
