Day 5 of 40 DAYS IN THE WORD “OUR DAILY ASSIGNMENT” “A KIND MAN BENEFITS HIMSELF, BUT A CRUEL MAN BRINGS TROUBLE ON HIMSELF.” Proverbs 11:17 (NIV) Kindness is a choice! You choose how you treat people and you choose how you respond to people on the way they treat you. Kindness is “love in action” – a practical expression of love. It is visible and active, not just emotional. You may be wondering, “But why should I be kind?” A very simple answer is because God is kind to you. Ephesians 2:8 says, “BECAUSE OF HIS KINDNESS YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED THROUGH TRUSTING CHRIST.” Grace and kindness always go together. Another reason to be kind is that we want people to be kind to us. We want to be treated right. Jesus said, “DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO TO YOU.” (Matt. 7:12) If you are rude to people, they are going to be rude to you. But if you are kind, most people will want to respond the same way. Don’t let these verses pass by. God has given them to us for a reason. Make some goals and determine to be good to the people you meet, wherever that may be. As you prepare for your day in the morning, be conscious of being nice to everyone you meet. In short, MAKE THIS AN EVERYDAY ASSIGNMENT!! By doing so, you may be amazed at the joy that comes your way throughout the day. Pastor Carnes
