“And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.” Matthew 10:42.
Kind? Yep, kind!! Are you kind to people? Do you give of yourself?
Things are nice. Money is nice. But those are not the kindnesses that Paul is talking about. The devil gives things. Jesus gave of Himself in kindness and acts of personal attention. Kind. Wow, what a concept. Taking the time out of your busy schedule to actually sit down with someone and be kind to them, listening to them and be willing to watch and enjoy what they are doing. Kind. When was the last time you were kind to someone as Jesus was?
What does kindness have to do with the Ten Commandments? Try Coveting. Maybe you are coveting the time that you need to be giving to someone else. Oh you say, I’m too busy with choir practice, or church activities. Maybe you are too much like Martha (Luke 10:38-42) and need to be more like Mary. When was the last time you MADE the time to sit with Jesus? Your works will not get you into heaven. Drop out of choir and church activities and find time to be kind to someone and be with Jesus. What you do to others you do to Jesus.
