Your Question:

Can a single act of kindness revive a dying flame when we're feeling stuck?

Answer:

As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of being stuck, like a flame that's dying out. And I truly believe that a single act of kindness can revive that flame. You see, when we're feeling stuck, it's easy to get caught up in our own struggles and forget about the needs of others. But when we take the time to show kindness to someone else, it can be a powerful reminder that there's still good in the world.

I think of the many times I've seen my wife Susan show kindness to someone in need, and how it's lifted her spirits and reminded her of the importance of living for others. And I've seen it in my own life too - when I've taken the time to listen to someone or offer a word of encouragement, it's often helped me to see things from a different perspective and reminded me of the importance of living for God.

In 2 Corinthians 5:15, it says that "if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" That's what kindness can do - it can help us to see that we're not alone, that there's still hope and new life to be found. And when we're feeling stuck, that's exactly what we need - a reminder that there's still a way forward, and that kindness can be a powerful catalyst for change.
