On this episode of SCP, I am joined by my dad, Mikel Arnold to talk about kindness! My pops is a great handyman, hard worker, and loves to serve people. Both of my parents enjoy serving others, but my dad's willing & readiness is notable. One day when we were talking I noticed that his acts of kindness are not random at all. Rather, they were all intentional. Then I started to think that as followers of Jesus we should be intentional in our giving by seeking out ways to give daily, like my dad. Now, there will be moments of randomness, but for the Believer, we should be intentional in our acts of kindness towards others. I mean it is a part of the fruit of the spirit, so kindness should be what describes those who love Jesus. If it's not, ask the Lord to help you with being more intentional in acts of kindness. I believe that starts with preparedness in your mind and heart, as well as flexibility in your day for God to use you.
This episodes sticky note quote is, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13"
SHIFT | CHANGE ANCRONYM:
S - Soul Stirring. There needs to be a stirring of your soul to serve God before you start serving people.
H - Habits. Being intentional in your acts of kindness has to start with your habits. If it's not one of your habits to give, you might not be as consistent.
I - Internal trials. Turn your internal trials into opportunities to serve others.
F - Faith. Build up your faith and trust in God.
T - Time. Take time out of your life to help others.
Start your intentional giving NOW even while in quarantine! Get creative as Hebrews 10:24-25 says in the Message Translation. Write a card, make a card, send food, make a care package, and have fun being intentional in your giving. Thank you for listening!
