Your Question:
Can small acts of kindness revive a dying flame when we're feeling overwhelmed?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the impact that small acts of kindness can have on someone's life. When we're feeling overwhelmed, it's easy to get caught up in our own struggles and forget about the needs of others. But I believe that's exactly when we need to focus on serving others, just as Jesus taught us. I recall a time when I helped carry an elderly lady's groceries, and it was a small act of kindness that brought a smile to her face and reminded me of the importance of serving others. For me, the Spirit of God stirs in my heart when I think about the joyous burdens of love. I'm reminded of Jesus' words, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16) It's not about feeling guilty or obligated to do more, but about being prompted by the heart to serve others. I believe that when we focus on serving others, we're not only helping them, but also allowing God to work through us in powerful ways. As a husband and father, I've learned that small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on those around me. Whether it's helping my wife Susan with a task or spending quality time with my kids, Joshua and Rebecca, I've seen how these small acts can revive a dying flame and bring joy to those around me. It's a reminder that even in the midst of chaos, we have the power to choose how we respond and to serve others in meaningful ways.
