A Simple Act of Caring

   Have you ever heard or seen a story that makes you feel something? Maybe you heard a story of injustice that made you angry. Maybe you heard a story that was so sad you cried. I have found that the stories that touch people the most are ones they don't expect.
   In this day and age it is hard to find people who are generous and have integrity years ago a YouTube video came out called An act of caring creates an endless ripple. Check out the video down below.
   One act of kindness creates a difference. Many times we hesitate to give to others or do what we feel called to do because we think it will not make a major difference. However, it can make a big difference. It may only make a difference to the one person we help, or it could make a difference to many others. We never know who is watching or who will be told about what we do in kindness.
   I'm not saying we should do nice things to be recognized; I'm not saying we should do kind things to be recognized. We should do kind things because that's what we are called to do. Jesus did many kind things but he gave God all the glory (he is God).
   When we do kind things we should give God the glory. We should do what we are called to do because that is furthering the kingdom of God. That's why we are still on earth even after we accept Christ. You never know what one act of kindness will do.
   So, what kind things have you been called to do lately? Will you give God the glory if you are called to do something kind? What can you do today to create an endless ripple of kindness?
   Philippians 2:4 and John 13:34-35
