Acts of kindness are great. They make us feel all warm and happy inside. It helps us feel accomplished and builds self-esteem. When committing an act of kindness though, we must make sure that we have the beneficiary of the act of kindness in mind as well. We must ask ourselves, "Is this act of kindness to make us feel better or to better the life of the person we're being kind to?" The answer to this question will dictate what kind of kindness i give to another. If i see someone who needs a new pair of shoes and I decide to give them the worst pair of shoes in my closet, which are in worse condition than the ones the person already has, then this "act of kindness" did not better the life of the person I was being kind to. Today's Devo says: "...Everything GOD does for you is an act of kindness to help you become all he created you to be." One of a Kind Kindness is an act that tells a person not just you were thinking of them, but that you are excited about them becoming all that GOD wants them to be. How should we show acts of kindness to others? By showing them one of a kind kindness, which means doing an act of kindness that tells someone I'm interested in you becoming all that GOD created you to be. What actions have you shown someone lately that tells them that you are interested in them becoming all GOD created them to be?
