Kindness is a helping hand
not a castigating tongue.
Message for Sept. 15, 2011.

Goodness comes from a heart nurtured with love, patience and understanding. To be good is to forsake your comfort because you always look out for the welfare of others first. But, it doesn't mean you totally forget about yourself, it is just that you prioritize the needs of others before yours.
Being kind and sensitive to the needs of your family, friends and neighbors is not just asking how they are but helping them if they are in need of help. You are not being kind if you know your neighbor is hungry but you just tell them that God will provide for them. At that moment, you are My instrument so help them, give something to assuage their hunger. You are not being kind if you ask someone about their health or anything that bothers them and you give them a sermon to chastise their failures.
Real kindness is expressed in actions not merely words.
