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

“I entreat you, give no place to despondency. This is a dangerous temptation–a refined, not a gross temptation of the adversary. Melancholy contracts and withers the heart, and renders it unfit to receive the impressions of grace. It magnifies and gives a false colouring to objects, and thus renders your burdens too heavy to bear. God’s designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.” – 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?
