Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt The reason I want to talk about kindness is because in my opinion, kindness is becoming an increasingly rare commodity in our society. We have become a society in which the milk of human kindness has spoiled. In a recent U.S. News & World Report poll, 89% of Americans think that rudeness, incivility, and a lack of kindness has become a serious problem. More than 3 in 4 says it has gotten worse in the last 10 years. You will be hard pressed to ever go a day in your life when you won’t meet someone that doesn’t need a kind word. It is impossible, not to be unbelievably blessed when somebody sends a kind deed or a kind word your way. There is an old saying that goes, “Kill them with kindness.” You really can do that with people. You can kill animosity, bitterness, anger, and hard feelings with just a little kindness. As I was trying to think of a good definition of kindness, I came up with this thought. Kindness is treating others the way God treats you. The Bible says in Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32) Share this with a friend. Give them the gift of Gods inspiration. #Christian #Jesus #Faith #Church
