Your Question:

Can small acts of kindness revive a dying flame?

Answer:

I believe small acts of kindness can indeed revive a dying flame. As a pastor, I've seen firsthand how a simple act of kindness can bring hope and light into someone's life. Whether it's a listening ear, a helping hand, or a word of encouragement, these small acts can be a beacon of hope in a world that often seems dark and overwhelming.

I think of my own family and how we've experienced this in our own lives. My wife Susan and I have made it a point to show kindness to our neighbors, even when they may not always deserve it. And you know what? It's amazing how often a small act of kindness can turn someone's day around. My son Joshua, who's 17, has a friend who's been going through a tough time, and Joshua has been showing him kindness and compassion. It's been incredible to see how that's helped his friend to turn things around.

As I reflect on the Bible, I'm reminded of the importance of kindness and compassion. In 1 Corinthians 13, it says that love is patient, kind, and gentle. I believe that's exactly what we need more of in the world today - people showing kindness and compassion to one another. And I'm convinced that small acts of kindness can indeed revive a dying flame, bringing light and hope into a world that often seems dark and hopeless.
