The Narrow Way

We are called to love our neighbors as ourselves, and one of the most important ways we can do that is by showing kindness.

In a world where there is so much negativity and hatred, it can be easy to fall into the trap of being unkind or uncaring. But as followers of Christ, we are called to be different. We are called to be a light in the darkness, and to show compassion and kindness to all those around us.

One verse we can look to in the Bible is Proverbs 3:3-4, which says, “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.”

This verse reminds us that showing love and kindness to others is not just something we do for them, but it also brings blessings to us. When we show kindness to others, we are following in the footsteps of Jesus, who was the ultimate example of compassion and love.

So, how can we show kindness to others? It can be as simple as smiling at someone who looks sad, or offering to help someone who is struggling with a task. It can also mean listening to someone who needs a friend to talk to, or offering a word of encouragement to someone who is feeling down.

As we go about our daily lives, remember to be kind to everyone we meet. Be quick to forgive and slow to judge, and always strive to show the love of Christ to those around us.

I would like to leave you with another verse from the Bible, Ephesians 4:32, which says, “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” May we all strive to live out this verse in our daily lives, and may we be a shining example of Christ’s love to those around us.
