CHILD-FRIENDLY KINDNESS!

 Proverbs 19:17 ICB

Being kind to the poor is like lending to the Lord. The Lord will reward you for what you have done.

 

Kindness means showing love, care, and goodness to others. The Bible teaches that when we are kind—especially to people who cannot pay us back—God sees it and is happy. Proverbs 19:17 says, “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them.” This means every small act of kindness matters to God.

Kindness can be simple. It can be a smile, helping someone carry something, sharing your toys, saying kind words, or praying for someone who is sad. These things may look small, but they make a big difference. God sees them, and He promises to bless us when we choose kindness.

Kindness is wisdom because wise people know that loving others is important. Proverbs 11:25 says that when we help others, God helps us too. Micah 6:8 teaches us to be fair, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. When we are kind, we show God’s love to the world.

Kindness is also charity—love in action. It means noticing when someone needs help and doing something about it. Even if you give something small, God sees your heart. Jesus praised the woman who gave two small coins because she gave with love. Kindness sometimes costs us time, patience, or sharing what we have, but it is always worth it.

Kindness is generosity. Generosity is not only about money. It is about giving joy, encouragement, forgiveness, and attention. Sometimes the best gift you can give someone is listening to them. God loves a cheerful giver and promises to give us more grace when we give with joy.

God rewards kindness. The reward may be peace, joy, favour, strength, or answered prayers. Hebrews 6:10 says God never forgets the love we show when we help others. Even if people don’t say thank you, God sees it all.

The Bible shows many examples of kindness. Ruth was kind to Naomi and God blessed her. The Good Samaritan helped a stranger. Jesus showed kindness everywhere He went—He healed, fed, forgave, and welcomed people. Kindness can change someone’s day and even their life.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

•         Who can I show kindness to this week—especially someone who needs help?

•         What small acts of kindness can I start doing every day?

•         How has God blessed me before when I showed kindness?

PRAYER: Lord, make my heart gentle and kind like Yours. Help me to see people who need kindness and give it with joy. Teach me to love others, help others, and share what I have. Let my kindness bring hope, healing, and Your love to everyone around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
