Family Class on Discovering God's Kindness Part 2 of 4

Ask God to help you choose to be kind, especially when you don't feel like it.

• Man doesn't get it. By nature, man tends to think that God is harsh and unkind. Nothing could be further from the truth.??

• God is extremely kind, and incredibly loving. Many people simply don't "realize that God's kindness leads you toward repentance."

• The more we know God's goodness, the more we trust Him. The more we trust Him, the easier it is for us to put our lives into His hands. Only by placing our lives in His hands can we open the way for Him to save us, bless us and work through us, so that His wonderful will can be done on earth as it is done in heaven.
• GOING DEEPER
  • Being kind is a choice. You make choices every day — some big and some small. Think about all the choices you've made in the last 30 minutes. Which food to eat first at dinner, whether to sit on the floor or stay in your chair for this devotion, and who to share compliments about — those were all choices. God wants you to choose to be kind. The Bible tells about a kind man named Boaz who shared his harvest by letting a poor woman named Ruth gather from his fields (Ruth 2:8). Sometimes kindness is a choice to share what you have with someone in need. Other times, it's a decision to encourage someone with a sincere compliment.
• TALKING TO EACH OTHER

1. - Does God care about whether we are kind to others? How do you know? (Matthew 25:31-40)
2. - What are some ways you can show kindness to those around you every day?

• Ephesians 4:32:Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
• I urge you to find ways to recognize and remember God’s kindness. It will build our testimonies
