Acts
28:2
"And the natives showed us unusual kindness; for they kindled a fire and made
us all welcome, because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold."
The world around us has become totally engrossed into themselves. The uppermost
thing in the mind of a worldly person is what they need, want and/or desire. This is
in total opposition of how JESUS
was when He came
to earth. Everything He
did was for the benefit of others.
We, as a people, are to be like CHRIST.
We should be hospitable, kind, and caring people. This means that we must put
the needs of others ahead of our own! There are many ways we can display the
kindness of our LORD. When someone comes to
visit at dinnertime, we can invite them to join us. If we know a family is hungry,
we can share some of our food with them. If we see a person who is without a coat in the
cold weather, we can give them one of ours. The one thing that we taught our
children, though, is that you give them your best coat! Now this is a sacrifice.
In being hospitable towards others or sharing what you have with those in need, you are an
example of JESUS. Those who receive, feel
genuine love or caring from you! Many a closed heart has opened wide to receive JESUS
because of the kindness of others! Join
with me today and open your heart in kindness!
