EXTENDING CHRIST-LIKE KINDNESS














EXTENDING CHRIST LIKE KINDNESS


There are many LIVING
With many TROUBLES
In today's world


The LEAST we can do
Is REACH OUT A HAND
And EXTEND it to someone
To help them
GET BACK UP


EXTENDING Christ like KINDNESS
To one another
To each other


“He stretched out his HAND
Touched him=and said
'I will do it-
BE made clean'” Matthew 8:3


WHO can we help today?
Who can we EXTEND
A hand too?


The hand that we offer
Might NOT bring about
A PHYSICAL HEALING=
The way
That Jesus' did


But we can MOMENTARILY
RELIEVE another person
From his or her
Discomforting situation


We can EXTEND
Our hand in KINDNESS
In such a way
That it leaves the other person
With a TOUCH
Of CHRIST-LIKE CARE


Extending care-
Extending KINDNESS
To a person IN NEED


“Anxiety weighs down
The heart=
But a KIND WORD
Cheers it up” Proverbs 12:25


“He has shown KINDNESS
By giving you rain=
From heaven-and crops
In their seasons


He provides you
With plenty of food
And fills your hearts
With joy” Acts 14:17


“Consider therefore the KINDNESS
And sternness of God


Sternness to those who fell
But KINDNESS to you-
Provided that you continue
IN HIS KINDNESS” Roman 11:22


Let us SEND a POSITIVE
Social media message
To someone today


Let us send someone a
GET WELL CARD=or a
Letter of affirmation


Let us REACH
For a crying child


Or let us BE KIND
To an ELDERLY PERSON TODAY


HOWEVER we do it=let us
EXTEND SOME CHRIST LIKE
WARMTH=kindness=and care today


“........in order
That in the coming ages
He might show
The incomparable riches
Of his grace


Expressed in his KINDNESS
To us in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:7


Let us PLACE OUR HAND
In someone's hand today


Let us STRETCH out our hand
And EXTEND Christ-like KINDNESS
To others today


In the name of Jesus=and our FOREVER KIND and loving FATHER~
