Today is World Kindness Day (13/11/05)
Excerpts from Our Daily Bread:
Try A Little Kindness
Read: Acts 10:1-8,44-46
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. -Eph. 4:32
Today's ODB is talking abt Cornelius, a 1st century Roman centurion, maintaining order in Judea during the time of the Apostles in Acts. This man was a gentile so wasnt accepted by the Jews but God recognized him as one of His. Cornelius agreed with God abt what was good & he acted accordingly. He feared the one true God, unlike other pagan Romans, gave generously to the poor & needy, & prayed regularly to God.
Bcos of Cornelius' kindness & prayers, God chose him for a special assignment & sent an angel to tell him what to do. The angel didnt explain why but Cornelius followed the instructions. Bcos he obeyed, he & his household became the first Gentile believers to receive the Holy Spirit.
The eg of Conelius reminds us that God not only sees the good we do but is on the lookout for people who share His values. He wants to make them His partners in changing the world.
Today is World Kindness Day. If we follow the eg of Cornelius, perhaps God will use our simple acts of kindness to change our world.
Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life.
Remember to show compassion to needy ppl & family & friends bcos God has shown us His compassion. If u still dont know God, I just want to tell u He is a good & compassionate God. Forget the many ugly ppl ard u. Forget those who for no reason torture or persecute u. There're many bullies in school & workplace. These unruly ppl will face the consequences when God comes back for Christians who loves to do good to others. Leave it to God to vindicate u. They cannot go scot free for long. The time is now very near to the end of times. If these ppl still dont want to wake up, they will be left behind & swept away when Christ Jesus comes back for us. Meanwhile keep showing kindness whenever u can. God understands your effort. God bless!
