Biblical Answer

To show kindness to those around us when life gets busy, we must first understand that kindness is not just an action, but a mindset. It's a choice to put others before ourselves, even when it's hard. As the Bible says, "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31). This means being intentional about showing kindness to those around us, even when it's not convenient. One way to do this is by being present with others, whether it's having a friendly conversation over coffee, doing something for them, or simply being there for them.

But kindness can also be shown in small, everyday ways. For example, a smile, a kind word, or a helping hand can go a long way in showing kindness to those around us. And it's not just about what we do, but also how we do it. As the Bible says, "Bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart" (Proverbs 3:3). This means that kindness should be a part of who we are, not just something we do occasionally. We can also show kindness by being willing to listen to others, to ask how they're doing, and to show genuine interest in their lives.

When life gets busy, it's easy to get caught up in our own problems and forget about the needs of others. But kindness is not just a feeling, it's a choice. As Jesus said, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me" (Matthew 25:40). This means that showing kindness to others is not just about being kind to people, but also about being kind to God. By choosing to be kind, even when it's hard, we are reflecting God's character and showing the world what it means to follow Him. So, let's make kindness a priority, even when life gets busy. Let's choose to be present, to listen, and to show kindness to those around us, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it's who God is and who we are called to be.
