A little act of kindness can be remembered for life. I remembered one time we went for an outreach with some of our association members. When it was time to preach the gospel, we set out to go from one house to another to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. We had preached and were coming back from the evangelism when this heavy rain started.
It started raining heavily, and everyone started running to the church where we all stayed. Everyone had left me, and everyone was running and leaving me behind. The place was a village with bush all around, and I couldn't run very well due to the leg I sometimes had surgery on. It's healed, but I can't use it to run for a very long time. The place we stayed was far from where we went for evangelism.
As everyone started running, this sister met me on the way walking. She asked me why I wasn't running, and I said I was tired. She had been running before, but immediately I said I was tired, she stayed with me all the way in the lonely bush where everyone had run past us. We began to walk and talk on the road till we got to where we stayed. I knew she could also run and leave me behind, but she decided to stay and walk with me. I was so happy that day, and I really appreciate that little act of kindness.
Many times, those little kindnesses will render and we think are little, but they have greatly impacted some people's lives. As a believer, we should always be kind to each other. I'm not saying the other people who left were not kind, but this sister didn't even know how big and how that act has made me also rethink about myself and work on being kind to people around me.
As it says in
Ephesians 4:32
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
