In a world often marred by division and name-calling, our calling as followers of Jesus is vital. Each day presents us with opportunities to shine the light of Christ and display his love and grace through acts of kindness and godly wisdom. As we navigate the complexities of life, let us remember the profound impact our words, actions, and reactions can have on those around us, as well as our Christian witness.
Kindness, a beautiful characteristic of a follower of Jesus, transcends boundaries and touches hearts. Through kindness, comfort is extended, encouragement is offered, and hope is displayed. In a world that hungers for compassion, our kindness can be a beacon of hope, drawing others closer to Jesus, the One who is the source of life and love.
With kindness, we should also strive to be known for our wisdom. Not a wisdom known in this world, but one that can only be found in our fear and reverence of the Lord. Wisdom guides our decisions and shapes our responses, enabling us to navigate lifestyle challenges with discernment and grace. Wisdom is not merely the accumulation of knowledge but the application of divine understanding in our daily lives. As followers of Jesus, we are called to seek wisdom diligently, knowing that it is a gift from above that equips us to walk in the paths of righteousness.
Brought together in unity, our kindness and wisdom form a powerful testimony to the transformative power and work of Jesus in our lives. When we embody these virtues, the virtues of Jesus himself, we reflect the beauty of our Savior to the world around us, who is in desperate need of his redeeming grace. So then, let us be people known for our kindness and wisdom. Let us be intentional with our actions, words, and reactions. May our lives be a living testament to the glory and beauty of Jesus Christ, drawing others closer to his embrace of love and truth.
“When spiritual vitality is measured by sin-avoidance, we deceive ourselves into thinking that we are following Jesus faithfully. But following Jesus is to be measured by love—love for God expressed in love for neighbor. This is the good, beautiful, and kind life.” – Rich Villodas – Good, Beautiful and Kind
