KINDNESS: Pass it On...

HAPPY WEDNESDAY Friends! I hope this finds you having a BLESSED day! I am still adjusting to a new work schedule and balancing home life and stamping! This week, I worked the late shift twice and I am NOT used to staying up so late.

One thing, I noticed as I work is how crabby some people are and how rude they are. It is easy to get wrapped up in myself and want to retaliate or grow bitter and be nasty back. However, this week during my quiet time, the LORD reminded me that I need to be kind and show them God's grace.

Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

In one circumstance, a person was very impatient, rude and not kind. My flesh wanted to be rude back and take it personally. IN that moment, the LORD reminded me that the person's mood was NOT about me, but probably another circumstance in their life. So I chose to say a quick prayer for them and smile and thank them for stopping by. The person looked at me dumb founded and I have to say, I felt better about having done the right thing over choosing to retaliate their behavior.

Let me give you a small challenge! When your flesh wants to retaliate to someone who is being unkind, say a prayer for them! It is easy to take things personally, but in that person's Spirit, it may or may NOT be about YOU. Their mood may be from something that happened earlier in their day, or something that is bothering them. Some time's people do not realize how they are behaving and your kindness may help change that person's day!
