One kind action or even a single kind word can instill hope and melt hearts, and yet it's really hard for me at least to act kindly.
Kindness is doing something that benefits another person even if it might hurt you, slow you down, or inconvenience you. It's what your mom does all the time, it's when your brother helps you fix something, or your father patiently explains the same concept over and over again until your stubborn brain gets it, and it's when the King of kings and Lord of lords comes down from ruling a literal paradise to sacrifice Himself to save those who are willing. An act of kindness so powerful that through it death was defeated.
One kind action or even a single kind word can instill hope and melt hearts, and yet it's really hard for me at least to act kindly. In kindness we see the love of God for there's no earthly reason to be kind. Kindness is motivated by love, and love is from God. In fact, it is listed as one of the identifying traits of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4. Even though this world falls a little farther day by day, we can still continue to be kind for if there is virtue in bestowing the blessing of kindness during a time of prosperity, how much more so during a time of tribulation? Shabbat shalom everyone.
