“A Morsel of Kindness”
1 John 3:17 Suppose someone has enough to live and sees a brother or sister in need, but does not help. Then God’s love is not living in that person.
“Leo Tolstoy, the great Russian writer, tells of the time he was walking down the street and passed a beggar. Tolstoy reached into his pocket to give the beggar some money, but his pocket was empty. Tolstoy turned to the man and said , “I’m sorry brother, but I have nothing to give.”
The beggar brightened and said -”You have given me more than I asked for- you have called me brother.”
To the loved, a word of affection is a morsel, but to the love-starved, a word of affection can be a feast!
When is the last time you went out of your way to say something nice to someone just because?!
God instructs us to love others like He loves us!
I’ll tell you what I fall short of that regularly. Even to the people I claim to “love” the most.
It’s my prayer and goal to notice those who are in need of a feast of affection a kind word can bring and to truly attempt to love everyone as Jesus loves me.
