"Are you really showing true love by only loving those who love you back? Even those who don't know God will do that. Or compassion when you do something good to those who do good to you? Even people who don't know God do that. Or lend money to only those who can pay you back, what credit is that to your character? Even those who don't know God do that. "But love your enemies and continue to treat them well. If you lent money and never get it back, don't despair, it is not lost. You will receive a rich reward and you will be known as true children of the Most High God, having His same nature." For your Father is famous for His Kindness to heal, even the thankless and cruel. Show mercy and compassion for others, just as your heavenly Father overflows with mercy and compassion for all." (Luke 6:32-36) This is true Kindness In Action!
We live daily in a world of more cruelty than compassion, more hate than love, more divisions than unity and it continues in every facet of human life. If we as Christians, have been made and shaped in His image and have this new nature, we must begin to operate in this newness of our lives. Today I challenge you to let go of your ego, yes there are and will be people who hurt and offend you, yet we have another example of pay back and that is "Kindness In Action" this is the fruit of your life, you are choice fruit. The scripture says in Luke 6:43 that you will never find fruit hanging on a bad, unhealthy tree. And rotten fruit doesn't hang on a good, healthy tree. Every tree will be revealed by the quality of fruit that it produces. People are known in this same way. Out of the virtue stored in their hearts, good and upright people will produce good fruit." Jesus said I am the vine and that we are the branches, as we live in union with Him as our source, fruitfulness will stream from within us...."Whenever our lives bear abundant fruit, we demonstrate that we are His disciples. (John 15) Remember the Kingdom of God is not talk but action, the demonstration of the power of God. Let's starting living and operating and demonstrating that power through "Kindness In Action"!
