Try a Little KindnessНамуна

Kindness is probably one of those things your mom taught you. It’s one of those important lessons that we should never outgrow. It’s a basic way of communicating and getting along with others. Kindness creates a different atmosphere, a different way of talking, walking, and acting.

But we’ll never really learn how to be kind until we start putting the needs of others ahead of our own. This is the attitude that Philippians 2:3 talks about: “Do nothing from selfish and empty conceit but with humility of mind, regard one another as more important than yourselves.” That’s where kindness starts.

We can’t really learn to be kind unless we start thinking about how our words and actions are affecting others. Will our words foster peace and bring love and grace? Or are our words meant to exalt ourselves above others?

What atmosphere have you been creating through your words and actions?
