Are Your Friendships Fueling Your Faith?ਨਮੂਨਾ

THE POWER OF KINDNESS

Have you thought about what it would look like if your kindness became the loudest voice in your sphere of influence? Kindness is more than just being polite; it is a spiritual weapon. While many people often celebrate sarcasm, pride, and exclusion, choosing kindness reflects the heart of God and sets you apart. It opens doors, softens hearts, and builds bridges that harsh words could never cross.

Jesus modelled kindness to outcasts, sinners, and even those who betrayed Him. True friendship is marked by compassion and patience, especially when people are difficult or do not respond to your love. As a young believer, your kindness can shine like a light in dark spaces at school, online, or even at home.

Kindness is not weakness; it is strength under control. When you consistently choose kindness over retaliation or judgment, you reflect Christ's character. Your actions speaks louder than any sermon!

PRACTICAL TIP

Every day this week, try and find one person you can encourage through a kind word, a helping hand, or a message. Make kindness intentional. Ask God in the morning, "Who do You want me to be kind to today?"

TESTIMONY

After moving to a new town, Ezra felt invisible. One classmate, Sipho, always greeted him with a smile and invited him to sit with his group. That simple act of kindness made Ezra feel seen and led to a lasting friendship rooted in Christ.

PRAYER

Father, help me reflect Your kindness in how I speak and act. Teach me to see others through Your eyes, even when it is hard. Use my kindness to show Your love to someone who needs it today. Fill my heart with gentleness, and let my actions point others to You, the source of true kindness.
