I BLEW IT!
Did you have a kind day yesterday? Oh my, I have to confess I blew it. Even after writing a post to you about kindness!
My husband and I were traveling in the car and making the most of the time to pray for many people who were on our hearts. The phone rang for me and I was quick and impatient with the person because she interrupted our praying!
Right away, my husband put me in my place, “Nancy, you must speak kindly and patiently.” I was immediately convicted by the Holy Spirit and had to confess my impatience. Wow, how bad can it get that I should sin even in the middle of praying! The enemy is subtle.
Praise God for the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ. And how we (am me especially) need to constantly remember that Jesus Christ, who is filled with kindness, dwells in me. Therefore, as I allow His life to live through me I will speak kind words and always be doing kind things.
I trust, by God’s grace, I will be kind and sweet today.
