ACTS OF KINDNESS
Need Orderliness?
_For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice._ (James 3:16)
A doctor friend once told me that many diseases thrive in sugar. And so his first piece of advice to his patients is to stop taking sugar and get it only naturally from food. Similarly, evil practices thrive in envy and selfish ambition. They are comfortable in such disorder.
Whenever self takes centre stage you hardly appreciate any good done by anyone else except yourself.
Your eyes become so blind that you fail see any need to extend a helping hand. Instead, you resort to all kinds of evil for personal gain.
Disorder and confusion also team up to become a cloud of negative atmosphere around you. You become quick to pick arguments even where unnecessary.
Your eyes and mind become blind to your own shortcomings but extremely sharp to point at the wrongs of others. This makes it very hard for you to practice any acts of kindness and, that does you no good either. Every person grows through being appreciated by, as well as appreciating others.
Just like the two hands that God gave us; he meant them to wash each other first before washing the whole body. Disorder and selfishness keep the hands apart, so the whole body will never be clean. It takes a clean body to see the dirt in other bodies, hence the need to get them cleaned, thus, acts of kindness.
_For our God is a God of order and not confusion._
(1 Corinthians 14:33)
Amen
