The Seeds Of Kindness

THE SEEDS OF KINDNESS---

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

I have pill sizes baggies with about 10 seeds in each one, random. I also put two cheerios for donut seeds? What will you grow?

*QUESTION: CAN EXTERNAL HABITS REVEAL INTERNAL PROBLEMS?

WHAT DOES GOD REQUIRE AND EXPECT OF HIS PEOPLE? DO WE DREAM OF MORE?

THE SEEDS OF KINDNESS.

Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Can we understand how easy it is in life to drift down stream? Even dead fish can float downstream. But God has a plan. He has already made it plain for us to know how to live and sow seeds of kindness. God wants us to know what to do. He desires and expects for us in our menial daily living TO BE KIND. God’s plan is pretty simple. He desires us to love others and keep his commandments. GOD EXPECTS US TO LOVE AND BE KIND. We tend to take ourself too seriously and to take eternal things and God’s eternal plans to lightly. God desires us to BE KIND and do what is fair and just to your neighbor. This kindness is to be compassionate and loyal.

JESUS TEACHES US A LESSON ON THE SEEDS OF KINDNESS… THE SEEDS OF KINDNESS MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE MUST GIVE A GREATER EFFORT THAN LEFTOVERS… QUE SERA, SERA?

Jesus is preparing a great lesson on ATTITUDES.

Matthew 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

THE SEEDS OF KINDNESS! WANT TO THINK ABOUT KINDNESS? DAVID WAS KING. HIS MEN LOVED HIM SO MUCH. THEY HAD BEEN AWAY FROM HOME IN THE HEAT OF THE BATTLE A LONG TIME. ONE NIGHT AS THEY GATHERED AROUND THE CAMP FIRE, DAVID WAS THINKING OUT LOUD, HE SAID: WOW, HOW GOOD THE WATER FROM HOME WOULD TASTE RIGHT NOW…

King David laid down to rest. One of his kind soldiers said: DID YOU HEAR THE KING? Let us do a KIND DEED for the KING! 3 men said, if we travel fast we could be at the well and back by morning. They endangered their lives. They lost a night’s sleep. 3 men were SO KIND. They ran all night. They grabbed a canteen of water from the WELL AT HOME. Then got back to camp about day break.

1 Chronicles 11:17 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate! 18 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD, 19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.

DAVID WOKE UP ALL REFRESHED AND WAS TAKING HIS BATH AND THE 3 MEN BOLDLY APPROACHED THE KING. Their KINDNESS WAS A GIFT TO THE KING. The 3 soldiers said: King we love you and appreciate you so much. HERE IS OUR GIFT TO YOU: WATER FROM THE WELL AT HOME.

My opinion David was crying as he held the CRUISE OF WATER. He thanked them for their KINDNESS. He stood and held the GIFT OF KINDNESS. I think he looked his 3 brave men in the eye and HE COUNTED THE COST OF KINDNESS of his soldiers.

KINDNESS? KINDNESS? AS DAVID STOOD AND COUNTED THE COST OF KINDNESS OF HIS MEN HE THOUGHT, I CAN’T DRINK THIS. I CAN’T? WILL HIS SHOULDERS UNDERSTAND WHAT DAVID IS ABOUT TO DO? THIS ACT OF KINDNESS REQUIRED AN OFFERING… HE POURED THE KINDNESS OFFERING ON THE GROUND TO GOD. DAVID GAVE THEIR EFFORT THE HIGHEST OFFERING OF RETURN. DAVID RETURNED THE KINDNESS OFFERING AS AN OFFERING TO A HOLY GOD.

MY OPINION? EARLY THAT MORNING THERE WERE 4 MEN STANDING AROUND THE CAMP FIRE CRYING AND PRAISING GOD. The 3 mightiest men loved their King and loved their God…THE GREAT I AM!

SEEDS OF KINDNESS? WE HEAR OF RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS? GOD SEARCHES FOR PLANNED, PURPOSED KINDNESS AND GIVING! LOVE GIVING. YOU EVER HEARD OF GRUDGINGLY KINDNESS?

2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
