DIVINE KINDNESS



















DIVINE KINDNESS


Of ALL the qualities
That the Lord possessed
The one EASIEST to IMITATE
Is his KINDNESS


After all-anyone of us
CAN BE KIND-that is-
IF we want to be


GIVE & RECEIVE kindness
For that is the WAY
Of the Lord


“........of the kindnesses of the Lord
The earth is FULL” Psalm 33:5


We live in a mean-judgmental-and
Hostile world=where violence is
HAPPENING all the time


WHERE people are constantly
Saying mean things about one another
And gossiping about one another


TRY to be KIND
And do kind things
For one another


Try saying KIND THINGS
About your neighbor
And IF you can't do that


Try DOING what I was taught
As a kid:
“If you can't say something good-
Nice-or kind about someone else
DON'T SAY anything at all”


Try to be KIND=
That IS=or at least=
That should be=THE CHRISTIAN WAY=
The true example of
IMITATING CHRIST


DIVINE KINDNESS=what a world
That would be=if=
We all LIVED that way


“The king asked:
'Is there no one still
From the house of Saul


To whom I can
Show God's kindness?'” 2 Samuel 3


That's it=that's the way=
SHOW KINDNESS to all=
Including your enemies


“In a surge of anger
I hid my face from you
For a moment


But with INCREASING KINDNESS
I will have compassion
On you” Isaiah 54:8


Yes the Lord
Shows us DIVINE KINDNESS
EVERY day of our lives


As Christians-the least-
That we can do-is
IMITATE our loving God-our Jesus


And PASS kindness
On to our brothers and sisters
In this world


Yes EXPRESS kindness in
Your words and deeds
USE words like:
“Thank you,” “I'm sorry,”
“I understand,” “I forgive you,”
And “I LOVE YOU”


Yes-DIVINE KINDNESS-can be anywhere
If we are determined to
SAY it-Express it-give and receive it


Let KINDNESS win in you
Let kindness WIN in this world


DIVINE KINDNESS=let it WIN TODAY


In Jesus' name,
