Consider others

On August 2nd, 2010, posted in: Arena Church News by Arena Church 1 Comment

Have you ever thought the difference that you would make in the world if you considered others and showed kindness?

Some ideas:

- Let someone out of a busy road junction

- Give up your seat on the packed bus, tram or tube to a lady, an elderly person or just someone that looks weary!!

- Let someone go in front of you in a supermarket with a basket because you have a trolley full!!

- Open the door for the harassed mum with a pushchair and 3 kids in tow.

- Be patient with the “slow” trainee sales person in the department store on their first day.

- Smile kindly to the bank clerk who has evidently had a heavy day.

- Instead of slamming the door in the door to door sales person’s face – politely and kindly say ‘No, thank you’.

Jesus said that your kindness and good deeds would be seen by men and they would praise God because of them. In other words, people would see Christians considering others and being kind, and it would point them to Jesus!

Your decisions of kindness and consideration will go a long way to make this world a better place!

    Good points Kristian. The list is not exhaustive. Showing kindness and going the extra mile are not always easy, it is far too easy to get wrapped up in our own lives and trying to get from A to B, we quickly forget others. Don’t forget too that we reap what we sow, and we will sometimes be on the receiving end of the kindness.
