Circumstances And People

To preach the message of the cross seems like sheer nonsense to those who are on their way to destruction, but to us who are being saved, it is the mighty power of God released within us.  1 Corinthians 1:18 TPT

Kindness is such an important fruit of the spirit in our lives. And it is the light of Jesus we shine in a dark world.

But have you ever noticed that when you’re tired or you’re experiencing times of great pressure, you start to feel like you’re running short on kindness?

When this happens, there’s only one thing to do. Run to Jesus! Talk to Holy Spirit - pray pray pray - He’s the Source of the fruit of the spirit in our lives. He’s the One who enables us to be gracious, thoughtful, and helpful to others. We certainly don’t do it by our own ability. 

That’s why Jesus said, “Come to Me.” 

Don’t look at the circumstances that have risen up against you. Don’t look at the people around you and say, “Well, they never help me. They don’t care anything about me.” 

God says there is no hope for the world aside from laying our lives at the foot of the cross for Jesus Christ, For centuries the world has rejected God’s plan of redemption. Now, because of humanity’s refusal and rebellion, far too many stand on the threshold of eternity - to be forever separated from God’s goodness, His protection and love. 

When we are looking at circumstances and people, we are looking in the wrong place.

Look to the Lord! We can always get a fresh supply of kindness from Jesus because He has an abundance of it, and He’s eager to minister it to His people.
