Act of Kindness by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 02/24/12

“But the misfortune is that people wish to direct God instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him. We wish to take the lead, and to follow in a way of their own selection instead of submissively and passively following where God sees fit to conduct them. And hence it is, that many souls who are called to the enjoyment of God himself and mot merely to the gifts of God, spend all their lives in pursuing and in feeding on little consolations.” – Madame Guyon

Act of Kindness by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 02/24/12

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: According to 1 Corinthians 13, one of the marks of love is kindness. It is also a fruit of the Spirit. As women, we’re called to a proactive kind of kindness—to offer hospitality and make guests feel comfortable, to give to those who are in need. Wives are called to serve their husbands. Moms are called to serve their children.

Kindness can take different forms in different seasons of life, but there’s so much value in sending cards and notes, being sensitive to listen, and in meeting practical needs.

Kindness doesn’t just involve loving actions. It also involves doing them with a loving heart—acting through God’s power and for His glory.

How can you show kindness out of a kind heart in your season of life?
