Random Acts Of Kindness...........


Sometimes I feel like I need to be doing more acts of kindness.
Almost like I need to be displaying what I believe. It's funny,,, some people try to show they are a good person and that they are Christians, when really, they might be hiding behind masks. I have been guilty of this also. Eventually, that mask will have to be removed. It's important to just be real from the beginning, even when displaying our love for Jesus.
Ever feel like you're slacking off and need to do something "good"? Almost like you don't feel worthy of anything and you just want to do something good even if you don't mean it just to make yourself feel better? My sister texted this to me a while back: "Come to Him now, don't wait until you feel worthy, because we were never worthy in the 1st place." I find this true.

Maybe we might mess up and don't feel worthy enough to be happy or worthy enough to pray. that's when we should pray all the more. Anyway, back to the random acts of kindness thing!
I think we all should be doing these things. It helps us grow and we definitely feel good after doing them. It also makes the other person feel good.
I like to subscribe for magazines, One of them is Brio, but unfortunately, they were discontinued..
