Are you looking for a way to shine your light in the world? Are you searching for opportunities to glorify God as well as impact the lives of others? Well, you have journeyed to the right place! I have a solution for you that is free of cost! Today, I encourage you to go to the next level in your life. Yes, I know you already exhibit this characteristic. However, I am calling you to a greater level of kindness. Kindness? Yes, the answer to your question is kindness. It is the only way you can truly please God and be a blessing to people.
In this post, I am sharing random acts of kindness that you can perform throughout this week. They can enhance your relationships with your loved ones and/or uplift the hearts of strangers. Here's some great news for those of you looking for something in return: we all reap what we sow. In other words, extending kindness means that you are certain to receive kindness. As I stressed in previous posts, when you reap and where you reap blessings can sometimes be unexpected. Therefore, show kindness with no demands and without expectation. When the blessings come, they will be much more rewarding.
