Human kindness may be important, but supernatural kindness is even more important. It is what "this sad world needs." The importance of kindness is seen by the fact that an act of kindness lingers on in the memory. Once, when about to step on to the platform of the Colston Hall, Bristol, to speak to a large audience and feeling a little weighed down by personal circumstances at the time, a few ladies who represented an organization called "Women Aglow" handed me a little box in which was a beautiful flower. Along with it was a message: "We love you and are praying for you." That kindness and the spirit that prompted it stood out like a star on a dark night. I have never forgotten it and will never forget it. It will live on within me until the day I die. If kindness can minister such comfort and encouragement, then how imperative it is that we ask God to ripen this fruit within us. Of the many things surrounding Paul's shipwreck on Malta, Luke recalls in particular that the "islanders showed us unusual kindness" (Acts 28:2).
Prayer:
O Father, help me to demonstrate the fruit of kindness this day so that somebody, somewhere, may use it as a light to lighten their darkness. In Christ's Name I ask. Amen.

Look at the impact a small act of kindness had on this man's life! May we keep this prayer in our hearts and minds at all times!

AMEN!!!KINDNESS..JUST A SMILE..A GENTLE TOUCH ..A QUICK HUG..COST SO LITTLE ..AND GIVES SO MUCH TO OTHER..BUT IN TRUTH WE OURSELVES ARE THE BENEFACTORS...AND WE ARE SHOWING GOD'S LOVE THROUGH US.....GOD BLESS YOU

I agree with Pattie . . . it's those little things that often mean so very much.

I certainly agree it's the little things that are important to me, a kind word a hug, anote of love and caring words, akind gift when your feeling down. giving of yourself.

Me too. I like to be kind and reach out to anyone who needs a soft encouraging word or a hug, etc, There are so many hurting people in this world.
