While scrolling through Facebook I stumbled upon a video that was very moving. One person just wanted to do just one nice thing for someone else that day. By the reactions that the people gave him it is not something that is done nearly enough anymore. Most of the reactions that he got were skepticism and suspicion. To a certain extent, this is understandable, we no longer live in a world that random acts of kindness are done without ulterior motives. The world is unfortunately a dangerous place and it is understandable that people would be less trusting. However, that should not stop us from being kind ourselves.
Sometimes people's responses were more positive and they were moved, or very grateful for what was done for them. You never know what someone is going through in a day and how much you could bless them by that random act of kindness. In the Bible we are called to be kind; Ephesians 4:32- Be kind one to another tenderhearted forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you. Kindness can make this world better when we serve each other. It may be met with skepticism and suspicion, but we should not stop trying to be kind. So step out of your comfort zone and be kind. People won't expect it and you have an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. Try and help fix the skepticism with random kindness. Maybe one day people will no longer be suspicious of kindness.
Here is the mentioned video.
