OVERDUE KINDNESS

 

kindness:the quality or state of being kind; an instance of kind behavior;to be generous

we often show kindness as thanks & to show our appreciation by doing the unexpected & going that extra mile to let them know that we love & appreciate them

(Prov.3:27) withhold not good from them whom it is due when it is in the power of thine hands to do it

notice how the scripture tells us  to be kind especially when it is in the power of our hands to do it, this can be as simple as taking a friend to lunch, accompanying them to the doctor or just share an encouraging word

WHEN IT IS IN THE POWER OF THINE HAND TO DO IT’

throughout the word we find many who showed kindness, to name  a few,

* Boaz to Ruth (Ruth cp.3)

* The Good Samaritan  to the man who fell among thieves & left for dead(Luke10:33)

* David to mephibosheth in honor of Jonathan (2nd Sam.cp.9) this is a beautiful chapter how David showed kindness to the whole family because of Jonathan

have you missed an opportunity to show kindness when it was in the power of thine hands to do it?
