Your Question:
Can a small act of kindness change the course of a life?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've seen firsthand the impact of small acts of kindness on people's lives. My wife Susan is a perfect example of this. She's always been kind, unselfish, and generous, and her actions have a profound effect on those around her. Whether it's a simple gesture like helping carry an elderly lady's groceries or a more significant act of mercy like offering compassion during a difficult time, Susan's kindness has a way of changing lives. I believe that kindness is a powerful force that can bring liberation from the Babelian urge of needing to compare ourselves to others. When we focus on doing good for others, rather than competing with them, we create a sense of community and mutual support. As the Bible says, "Love is kind" (1 Corinthians 13:4), and kindness actively pursues the good of others. It's not just about feeling kind, but about actively seeking to do good, even when it's difficult or uncomfortable. I think of a time when I was struggling with my own personal crisis, and a friend saw me on the level of my humanity, not just on a theological level. They showed me mercy and compassion, and it made a profound impact on my life. This is what we're called to do for others - to be tenderly merciful and to show kindness, even when it's hard. It's not about grand gestures, but about small acts of kindness that can change the course of a life.
