The Power of Kindness

The Power of Kindness…

Good morning,

Today, let’s tackle anxiety with the power of kindness, inspired by Proverbs 12:25. It’s a gentle reminder that we’re not alone in our worries.

Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.   Proverbs 12:25

Anxiety. It’s a word that resonates deeply in our fast-paced, often overwhelming world. Proverbs 12:25 doesn’t shy away from this reality; it acknowledges it head-on: “Anxiety weighs down the heart.” It’s a weight many of us know all too well.

But the verse doesn’t stop there. It offers a solution, a light in the darkness: “a kind word cheers it up.” In the face of anxiety’s heaviness, kindness becomes a powerful counterbalance. This is more than just a feel-good sentiment. It’s a call to action, reminding us of the profound impact we can have on others. We have the opportunity to be light-bearers, to offer words that uplift, encourage, and heal.

As we extend kindness, we ourselves often experience lightness, too. Kindness multiplies, spreading light to both the giver and the receiver. Today, let’s take this proverb to heart. Let’s seek those moments to speak a kind word, to be a source of cheer in someone’s day. You never know the impact a single word of kindness can have – it might just be the very thing that lightens someone’s load.

Dear Father, In a world filled with so many worries and what-ifs, help me to remember the power of kindness. Guide my words today so they may bring comfort, hope, and a smile to those who need it most. Let me be a source of light, using my voice to uplift and cheer the hearts around me, just as You do for me every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
