simple kindness [+] Wednesday E-Devotion

Romans 11:6 (nasb) --- And since it is through God's kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God's grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.

Simple kindness. It returns to you. We have to remember that we do not deserve the grace of God whatsoever. Yet in His endless grace, God cared for and saved us AND keeps on caring for us. That is why we have to turn it around. Give it away.

I am touched by the testimonies of people who are practicing ARK's (acts of random kindness). If you haven't shared what you are doing with me, please do so now. If you aren't practicing ARK's, begin today. It will touch you more than you know.

Philemon 1:10 (nasb) --- I appeal to you to show kindness...

The person next to you may need to experience the kindness of God. It may be the person who sleeps next to you. It could be the lady you run into at the grocery store.

Give something away. Listen to God. Be kind. Begin make ARK's part of your daily like. Simple kindness goes a long way ...

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
