Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
“The small victories of our lives are one area we see evidence of the final victory of Jesus–the times when we chose to love instead of hate, to forgive instead of hold a grudge, to be kind when being mean would be the usual course of action. In those moments we catch a glimpse of the victory he has already won. So this day, choose to perform an intentional act of kindness as evidence that you are on the winning side.
Acts of kindness also have a way of changing our perspective and reminding us that even though there is a lot of anger and selfishness in the world (and in us), something bigger and better is going on: love. When we do an act of kindness, we are demonstrating the truth that God is good and that, ultimately, God wins–which means we win as well. Do a simple act of kindness today and show the world whose side you are on.”
James Bryan Smith in Hidden in Christ: Living as God’s Beloved (Downers Grove: IVP, 2013) 58.
I have nothing to add to this exhortation by Smith other than echoing the famous Nike slogan: Just do it!
