Ephesians 4:32

Scottish evangelist Henry Drummond once wrote, “The greatest thing a man can do for his Heavenly Father is to be kind to His other children.”  In a world often marked by hostility, impatience, and selfishness, there seems to be a shortage of genuine kindness. But as Christians we are uniquely positioned to stand in this gap, reflecting the kindness that Christ has shown us. By spreading kindness we can make a significant impact, offering hope and healing where there is brokenness and despair. Small gestures of kindness like a comforting word, a helping hand, or a forgiving heart, can create ripples of positivity that extend far beyond our immediate reach. Our kindness is a tangible expression of God’s love, breaking down barriers and fostering connections in a hurting world. It reminds others of their great worth and the grace available to them. By becoming beacons of light, we reflect the love of Jesus and show that true strength lies in gentleness and compassion.

Luke 6:45

We have an old apple tree on our property. Upon first glance it looks healthy and strong. But the true test lies in the fruit it bears. And that fruit is sparse, rotten, and hangs from almost barren branches. That’s because looks are deceiving. And a tree that looks good and strong on the outside, might be rotten and dead on the inside. So it is in life. A person may project a positive image, but the true quality of their character is revealed by their actions and the fruit of their deeds. When our hearts are filled with grace, love, and mercy, we naturally produce an abundance of good fruit in our lives. On the other hand, when our hearts are filled with negativity and selfishness, our actions and words will mirror that. That’s why we should always strive to cultivate an abundance of Christlike love within us. Because such a love will manifest as blessings, kindness, and positivity in our relationships and in the world around us. And we’ll produce an overflowing abundance of good fruit all for the glory of God!

Proverbs 18:21

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”

We’ve all heard the old familiar saying, sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me. And we all know that isn’t true. Words hurt. And can wound deeper and longer than any physical injury. When used recklessly or maliciously, our words can damage, diminish, and scar others, leaving lasting effects. That’s why we have a great responsibility in choosing our words wisely. If we use our words to spread love, kindness, and positivity, we’ll experience the fruits of those words in our own lives. We’ll have healthy, good relationships, attracting similar positivity and goodwill from others. But if we use our tongue to spread negativity, gossip, or hurtful remarks, we will reap the consequences of those words as well. We may face strained relationships, misunderstandings, and a toxic atmosphere of negativity. So as followers of Jesus, let’s strive to use our words to uplift, encourage, and inspire. Because the power we hold in our tongues can shape the world around us, for good or bad.
