Jesus calls us to be kind; we can show kindness in many ways.
A way that I have shown kindness to others is by serving. Serving is a great way to show kindness and compassion towards others. My family and I used to go with Urban Youth Impact to poor neighborhoods in the area every Saturday. We would serve by doing things as simple as giving out food or doing fun activities with the kids in the neighborhood. But my favorite thing we did was share Jesus. At the end of each day, we would share a Bible or story from the Bible that would leave the kids, parents, adults etc. learning something new about Jesus. I am getting the chance to serve even more on my R.E.A.C.H. Week trip. My R.E.A.C.H. Week course is all about serving. We are going to Orlando, FL to serve for a week. We will be doing things like food packing, visiting homeless shelters, visiting orphanages, and so much more. I am so excited to be serving others!
A Bible verse to remember this by is Matthew 5:16, It says, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Serving is a great way to let your light shine before others. Serving others not only impacts the person or people you serve and makes them feel good, but it also impacts the person who is serving and makes them feel good.
