this has been coming up frequently over the last couple of days. this thing is called undeserved kindness.
In college, I heard a Psychology professor say that it’s not in our human nature to be kind because we had to fend for ourselves back in the cave and if we were too nice we wouldn’t survive. It’s survival of the fittest, not of the sweetest. Years later and I can’t help but still think of that.
You can look around and see whatever you choose to see. You can see that all around us there is evil, or you could turn the other way and see the goodness. You can deliberately go against the grain, and call heaven down to earth.
A Jehovah Witness came to my house once when I was reading my Bible, and he showed me a verse that said on earth as it is in Heaven, the famous Lord’s prayer. When we pray like this, we are calling Heaven down to Earth and we are asking for something that has not happened yet.
“Jesus was the kindest person in the world.” I’ve been mulling over this lately. When I think of God, I think of Lovingkindness. Who else would suffer the worst death known to man for the sake of your sins?
When others think of me, I hope they think of someone who is kind.
kindness helps create a ripple effect of more kindness, and then get this it also brings us a serotonin boost.
we reap what we sow, we get what we give. I truly believe that the more we allow God to work through us, the more we will see Him in our everyday life. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you.
