Be Kind
I just love this quote. It costs absolutely nothing to be kind to someone. A professor once made a statement that was so profound that it stayed with me. This was said over 10 years ago. She said “Sometimes in life, you will be the only Jesus with skin on a person may see.” I have not always lived that phrase out and sometimes my face certainly doesn’t live it out but I do try. I find it easier with strangers because I don’t have emotional ties/connections or a history with a stranger.
Usually, I can strike up a conversation, smile at someone, buy the person behind me in the drive-thru their food, etc. with no problems at all. People (friends, family, and strangers) are quick to judge others by their appearance, a misread text, the look on their face, or what they are wearing. Before you judge another, stop and think. You may have entered that person’s bubble on one of the worst moments of their lives.
They are full of emotion inside but evoking a mean look or a disheveled appearance on the outside. Instead of lashing out, silently pray for them or smile…small gestures can go very far in a hurting soul. Matthew 7:1 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.”
