June 15, 2023 – Are You Missing Opportunities to Share Kindness?
Sermon: 1440 Try a Little Kindness
Pray Over This
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
Ponder This
There are some of us who are afraid if we’re too kind, people are going to take advantage of us. Have you ever felt that way? Aren’t you glad that God keeps the score? Aren’t you glad that God knows? It doesn’t matter if somebody takes advantage of us if we’re acting like the Lord Jesus. People took advantage of Jesus. But He was and is kind.
Has the Holy Spirit ever impressed you to do an act of kindness to someone, but you delayed, and you got too busy, and then it was just too late, and you would have been embarrassed to do it? What often happens is we have an opportunity to do good, but we just let it pass by. Do you remember the story of the Good Samaritan who saw a man bruised and bleeding? He was on his journey, he stopped, and he helped the man right away. He didn’t make excuses. He didn’t say “I’m too busy,” “It’s too dangerous,” or “It’s none of my business.” He stopped and did what he could. All around us, people are bruised and bleeding. Some are bleeding financially. Some are bleeding emotionally. Some are bleeding spiritually. And they need you to say, “This is an opportunity to help, and I’m going to take it right now.”
