Kindness

I was reading in the Book of Proverbs this morning and read the following, "It's wrong to hate others, but God blesses everyone who is kind to the poor. " (Pr.14:21) It is such an important thing for us to always be aware of the potential needs of those who are less-fortunate. If it's important to God it should be important to us. I believe our first thought shouldn't be to see what we can get out of it, but how it can bless the other person(s). But, God does tell us that He will do something for you in return for your extended hand of love to someone else. That 'blessing' that we read He will give can come in many different forms, but the awesome thing about God is that He knows what we have need of better than we do. So, be aware this week of someone you might be able to be kind to. Those in need are all around us, sometimes we just need to slow down and listen.
