Good morning,
Fortress in grace!
“But You, Lord, are… compassion and mercy, slow to anger and abundant in kindness.” – Psalm 86:15
Thank God that He is not like man. After so much unmerited favor, kindness, and love we receive it’s a wonder why some wouldn’t want to share the love.
Say this 🗣️ “Thank you Jesus, your kindness covers me, I’m protected through your love.” Protection comes in many ways, but the most potent of them all is love. I’m sure you were at one time or another instructed to “kill them with kindness”. There was a time I didn’t not understand that statement. But now that I know the weapons of our warfare are not Carnal, I thank God for the many times I did not repay evil with evil. Kindness and love are a choice that we should be making daily. Not out of obligation but out of obedience and right standing with God. Remember we were made in His likeness. Eventually our character should catch up to our thought life and our actions should speak for themselves. No one said it would be easy, but it’s for your good. Very rarely do people upset you, you are in control. Change the way you respond and like clockwork things will begin to shift all around you. Let people be who they are and you be who God has called you to be. Own it, as if it were impossible for you to be another way, love wants permanent RESIDENCY. Who knows, your light might draw out the darkness in someone else !? 🫣
✅ Also, today be intentionally kind to yourself with gentle affirmations about who you know you are in Christ. Speak it, hear it, do it. Be a doer!
