 | Kindness On DisplayProviding for One AnotherPosted Sunday, November 5th, 2006 and visited 407 times, 3 so far today by MInTheGap |
Sometimes we can show kindness to others through providing them with something that they could not get on their own. There are people all around us that are hurting or are weighed down by things that they cannot control. In these cases, if you can step into that gap and minister to that person, it is a tremendous act of kindness that will see great rewards!
In the case of Katie, a friend stepped in at a tough time and provided a trip to Malta to give her a clear perspective:
Many years ago, I felt as though my life had been shipwrecked. I was a single mom, I’d lost my job, and I’d lost hope that God would ever use me for his kingdom-building purposes. Due to the kindness of a friend, around that time I was able to travel to Malta, the tiny island below the boot of Italy where the apostle Paul was shipwrecked on his way to Rome. I told my pastor I wanted to get away by myself and get some answers by studying Paul’s life. My pastor gave me a hug, said a great prayer for me, and sent me with his blessings.
Part of what Katie decided was that she would share God’s kindness to others. How about you?
