Fruit of Spirit: Kindness
Practical Application of scriptural text: Forgive someone whom you feel is undeserving

Today's Scriptural Reference:

"So that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God-not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life." Ephes 2: 7-10  NRSV

Being a Christian dictates a specific lifestyle that is contrary to the way of the world.  When we talk the talk as regards to being a Christian; then we must walk the walk.  It is a walk we gladly take, hand in hand with  Jesus through the Holy Spirit as our guide. The Great Master Teacher himself set the perfect example of showing kindness living a selfless lifestyle even to the point of dying for us while we were yet sinners. See Rom 5: 8  Despite that we were born in sin, we have victory in Jesus and he desires to bless you and I with the immeasurable riches of his grace, his unmerited favor which merits our deepest gratitude and appreciation.  One way we can show our appreciation is by extending kindnesses to others, everyone that we encounter. Any small gesture of kindness will be appreciated, something as simple as a smile, kind words, a card or email; even a phone call to simply  say hello can brighten someone's day. In days to come I will talk about more specific practical ways of developing the godly characteristic of KINDNESS.

Speaking of The Master Teacher:
There's so much to learn from Him everyday. He says, "Learn of me"
~Matthew 11:29b (KJV)
I enjoyed the devotional. May we be kind to each other.
Amen.

    Welcome

    Hello and Welcome to Hope Devotions, a unique devotional for a unique time.  Although the name Hope Devotions is nothing out of the ordinary nor is it a quirky sounding name, it is simply the perfect acronym to describe our mission and purpose. It means  Healthy Optimistic Perspectives Envisioned through the Holy Spirit.

    Each month HOPE  devotions 
    highlights a fruit of the Holy Spirit. This will serve as a guide to help us develop Godly character. Life presents daily challenges yet our experience is greatly influenced by the way we look at things. How do you  perceive life in spite of its challenges? in the world the spirit  of FEAR, GLOOM and DOOM has spread a canopy of spiritual darkness that covers  the entire earth. Compare Ephes 6:12  The good news is that God has transferred us into his marvelous LIGHT through His Word and Holy Spirit. So get ignited by looking through the lens of the Holy Spirit, which excels the HOPE that God gives to cast any horror(darkness) out of your view.  Psalm 18:28 NKJV - "28 For You will light my lamp; The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness."
