Romans 12:10 NKJV “Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another.”

LET’S TALK
A young gardener once noticed something fascinating. Each morning, he watered a patch of flowers by his neighbor’s fence, even though it wasn’t his responsibility. Weeks later, the flowers bloomed so beautifully that their fragrance filled his own garden. What he gave away in kindness found its way back to bless him! That’s how God’s kingdom works. Whatever good you do for others, you’re not really doing for them you’re doing it unto the Lord.

Moments like these remind us that kindness is never wasted. In the kingdom of God, every gesture of love is seen—and remembered. Proverbs 19:17 (NLT) says, “If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD and he will repay you!” Your treatment of others is, in fact, a reflection of your worship to God.

This is why we must give without grumbling. Philippians 2:14-15 NKJV exhorts us to “Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.” Your kindness is a testimony. It’s light in a dark world.

Even when it feels unnoticed, God sees. Colossians 3:23-24 NKJV reminds us, “…Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” That means every helping hand, every word of grace, every moment you choose to love over hate—it all counts in heaven.

Everyone who treats people well turns out to be a success in just a matter of time. Why? Because God treats people well and He’s always on the lookout for those who manifest His character.

Even if the person doesn’t say thank you. Even if they repay you with unkindness. The Bible says, “Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing” (1 Peter 3:9 NIV).

So, choose to be a carrier of Christ’s love. Be intentional. Be generous. Be present. Let others testify that their lives changed for the better because they met you.
