Isaiah 41:17-43:13, Ephesians 2, Psalms 67:1-7, Proverbs 23:29-35
What God said to me – Do you want to be like Me? Then be kind. Kindness is probably not one of the attributes you think about when you think about Me, but I demonstrate kindness continually to My children. It was because of My kindness that I predestined you to adoption as My child. It was because of My kindness that I made known to you the mystery of My will. It was because of My kindness that I sent My Son and extended My grace to you for salvation even when you were dead in your sin. So, as you walk with Me, I want you to be kind to those you encounter even when they are unkind. Let your reputation among men be one of kindness. When you are kind, you show them what I look like. People may not always accept your kindness – they didn’t accept Mine – but you can know that “I AM” pleased with you when you act like Me.
