Goodday beloved of God. I trust you have had a beautiful Sunday and swell time in God's presence in our various places of worship. I want to sincerely and with abundance of joy welcome you to the first ever church of the blockchain, the STEEMCHURCH. on behalf of the leader of this great house, the legendary @sirknight and our esteemable apostles, I want to let you know that your presence is highly appreciated in this community. You are not just important to us, you are VIP. Please kindly and painstakingly go through this church bulletin and I assure you the blessings of God will glue to you and to all that you set your hands to do. Explore
Kindness is the ability to behave kindly. That is, the practice of being or tendency to be sympathetic and compassionate. To be kind is to be friendly and pleasant, mild and comfortable. A kind person is one that is not harsh but calm, Caring and emphatic. Kindness is a product of goodness. It is deeply rooted in God. And to this it was said, the psalmist began to say: for His merciful kindness is great towards us. And the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise the the lord. Psalm 117:2.
See, the kindness of God towards us is great and immeasurable. We are expected to extend this same kindness towards men because we have the spirit of God in us (which ought to bear the fruit of God- kindness in us).
To this end, Apostle paul began to lend his voice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
Honey, as a believer, kindness or to be kind towards others is indespensible. It is the character kf Christ which must be practicable in our lives. And to this, Solomon began to say: The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar. Psalm 19:22. What he was simply saying is that the heart of a man or what makes a man is his kindness towards others. And to this, a poor man (who is kind) is better than a rich man (who is a liar). Thus, when kindness is in the heart of a man, then it will become a law in his mouth.
Little wonder Solomon opined about a virtuous woman: And in her mouth is the law of kindness. Proverbs 31:26b
Now, for a proper appraisal of kindness, we shall discuss it under two sub-headings : Symphaty and Emphaty.
Symphaty is the ability to enter into, understand or share somebody else's feelings. It's is the feelings or expressions of pity or sorrow for the pain or distresses of somebody else. It is to identify with others feelings or conditions.
Dear, we must be symlhathetis with others. We should have feelings for those who are in needs, sicknesses leave going through difficult times. We should be able to identify with the weak and downtrodden. We should show expressions of pity for the distress and pains of others. And to this, Apostle Paul was quick to say: Be kindly affections one to another with brotherly love, in honour preferring one another. Roman's 12:10
Sweetheart, to be kindly affection is to have symphaty for others. We should come to identify with their situation. We should be hearty. It is a Pity that there are some tongues talking believers that are not sympathetic. Are you one of them?
Emphathy is an advance form of symphaty. It is the ability to imagine and share others feelings and burdens. While symphaty is to have pity or identify with others feelings, emphaty takes a further step to bear that burden or relieve those feelings. To emphasize is to bear others burden or take others reproach on oneself. Thus, emphaty is feeling and acting on behalf of others. This was not far-fetched from what our Lord Jesus did for us on the cross of Calvary. He felt our sins and took the burden upon Himself (col 2:13-14)
To emphatize, is to be compassionate towards others. It is to be caring and having the desire to help others. It is to be caring and having the desire to help others. It was in expression of this that our Lord Jesus had to find a way of feeding four thousand men (apart from women and children) in the wilderness. This is not also far-fethced from the recent project of our great leader @sirknight, the steemchurch
@farms project, Symphatizing and Empathizing with the world and with a readiness to feed the world with STEEM, hmmm this is what emulating brethren.
Jesus was full of compassion and refused to send the people away so that they will not faint on the way. He had their welfare at heart even when his disciples tried to talk him out of it. We should come to understand the plight kf others and see how we could be of help, most especially those who are under us. No matter what, we should always display kind gesture towards others. And I write to you the words of Apostle Paul: Giving no offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed. But in all things approving ourselves as ministers of God, in much patience...by kindness.... 2 Cor 6:3-6
DEAR LORD JESUS, I RECEIVE GRACE TO SHOW FORTH KINDNESS WERE EVER I GO AS YOU HAVE SHOWN TO US ON THE CROSS. AMEN
