God's Second Order.

A lot of commandments/Law/Guides in the bible are optional but few are strictly compulsory. First is Tithing-giving 10% of your earnings to God. This can't be debated. SECOND and the most ignored of them is Kindness. Every day we miss opportunities to be kind in order to save a few seconds. One author writes, 'When I treat people as obstacles, or a means to getting things done, I become a smaller man. With each brusque comment...dismissive glance...curt reply I lose a little more of myself...my relationship with God suffers.' Paul says, 'The fruit of the Spirit is...kindness...' (Galatians 5:22 NKJV), and you can't love God without being kind to those He loves. Consider some role models in the bible - · Ruth and Naomi (Ruth 1:16-17 NLT). · Jonathan and David (1 Samuel 18:3 NIV) · David and Mephibosheth (Jonathan's son - 2 Samuel 9:7 NAS) · Shunammite and Elisha (2 Kings 4:9-10 NAS) You can never regret kindness. Showing little kindness in words or action can go a long way in changing the world. When you act kind to a person, the person reciprocates and also shows kindness to another.. eventually this will dispel greed and selfishness in word. Don't wait for someone to be kind to you, start now! Og Mandino says, 'Treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend all the care, kindness and understanding you can, with no thought of reward, and your life will never be the same
