Hey yall, hey! It's the most wonderful time of the year!This week, we're spreading joy and talking kindness.
Kindness makes use of our time, energy and gifts for the betterment of our own lives and the lives of others. It is built upon thoughtfulness, generosity and consideration. But unlike merely being nice, one cannot truly be kind without a conviction to care that comes from within. Kindness challenges us to do what’s right, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Our prayer for the week is this:
God, thank you for your Holy Spirit. Thank you for the fruits of the Spirit that we bear as a by-product of our good works. Thank you for your unmerited and unconditional kindness toward me and for creating me in your image. Help me to be more like you. Help me to be kind, compassionate and forgiving toward myself and others. Allow me to practice true and genuine kindness daily. In Jesus' name. Amen.
And our practice commitment is this:
This week, I will show myself kindness by forgiving myself for something that I have been self-critical of. I will commit to extending that kindness to others through authentic compassion.
