Daily Kindness

Sometimes I struggle with being kind.  I don't mean not to be kind.  I catch myself at times and feel bad.  Not being kind isn't just simply saying hello or things like that....its not being kind when you judge someone.  Judging when you don't really know what is going on is being unkind, especially when you use it against them and then start spinning off feelings of frustration and bitterness with negative thoughts.

Proverbs 11:17
Kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord,
and He will give a reward to the lender.

Hosea 11:4
I led them with human cords,
with ropes of kindness.
To them I was like one
who eases the yoke from their jaws

Romans 11:22
Therefore, consider God's, kindness and
severity; severity toward those who have fallen,
but God's kindness toward you---if you remain in His
kindness.  Otherwise you too will be cut off.

It is our place with His help to be kind to others so that He has an open space to come in and work in their lives.  Reminding us that we can not do anything to change the other but that He can.

Lord, help me to always be kind to others and not judge and not try to take it in my own hands with what good intentions I think I have.  You are the only one that soften our hearts when we see things that need to be changed in others and ourselves.  Thank you Lord for all your kindness towards each of us even towards the fallen.
