Kindness

I would imagine that all of our home page screens when we connect to the internet vary. My home page use to be a news channel such as MSNBC but I found this to be quite the distraction. I am much too curious about the latest tragedy and tend to allow those circumstances to stir up fear. Don't worry, I am not trying to live an imaginary world and pretend all is well, I just want to see the tragedies everytime I sit down to my computer and prefer to choose when I see the news. So last year I changed my home screen to one of my favorite writer's blog (Beth Moore). She has a way of making you feel like you are seated across from her at a coffee shop while you are reading. I don't have the chance to read her blog everyday but today I am glad that I did! At the end of her post was this amazing treasure. I am under the impression that this came from a simulcast she did recently. Anyway, I was so inspired by these words I had to post them here. I hope you enjoy them too!

My Dear Sister,

Your God has called you

To use that mouth of yours

For His great glory.

Don’t just add to the noise.

Become a real woman

Who opens her mouth with wisdom.

God wants the Law of Kindness

On your tongue

And the love of Christ

In your heart.

Never forget:

Kindness is not a weakness!

When you’re wearing down

Head to Christ and His people

And let them build you back up.

Always remember:

His yoke is KIND.

Make sure

It’s the only yoke you wear.

It’s time to go our separate ways

But we’ll all meet up again

At the glorious epiphany of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Until then,

Let the One who led you here

Lead you on with cords of kindness.

Now, get out there

And build a welcoming fire

In a cold world.

Live by the Law of Kindness!
