Why Be Kind

Proverbs 12:25
"Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up."

Anxiety is very heavy, but kindness really lightens life's load.  Scripture is clear, "Be anxious for nothing".  Easy to say and easy to believe in a sense.  But, it does not eliminate anxiety.  We worry and stress, mostly unnecessarily.  The overwhelming majority of the things we are anxious about, never come to pass, but we too often fear the worse.
   
This verse illustrates that anxiety can be a load, but just one kind word can tip the scales in the other direction.  The power of kindness is underestimated.  The load of our worries seem insurmountable at times, but His grace is sufficient.  Please allow me to speak kindness into your life today from my heart.

God loves you.  He knows your need, your hurt and your concerns.  He already knows how it works out.  He has plans for you.  He spoke the world into existence.  Your life came from Him, is sustained by Him and will be with Him forever.  His promises are true.  He is immutable . He is omnipotent.  He cares for you.  Cast all your cares on Him.  His loving kindness is perfect.  He has overcome the world.  There is nothing too great for Him.  Praise Him and trust Him.

By His Spirit,


Pastor Fred
