Kindness Regardless Of How We Feel

Devo by Awaken Co-Founder, Kim Tolnar

PROVERBS 12:25

“Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.” 

This is a powerful verse. We all know that anxiety is at an all time high in our society. I believe it would be rare to find someone who has not been anxious at some point in the last few years. Proverbs tell us that kindness can actually cheer a heavy, anxious heart. What exactly is kindness? According to Websters kindness is the act of being sympathetic, helpful and gentle. Most of us have experienced this at some point either being kind to someone and seeing the

response or how an act of kindness lifted our spirits- but are we living a life that is focused on kindness? It can be easy if we are having a good day personally but very challenging if we are struggling ourselves. My challenge to you is to find a person to be kind to regardless how you are feeling and see how it not only effects them but you as well! 

1 JOHN 3:18

“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”
