Matthew 25:35 - "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in."
Imagine kindness as a welcoming table where the hungry find sustenance, the thirsty find refreshment, and the stranger finds a seat of acceptance. Just as a welcoming table offers comfort and nourishment, kindness invites hearts and creates an environment of love. The verse from Matthew 25:35 describes how we can extend kindness by providing for the needs of others.
In your life, let kindness be an open invitation to those around you. Just as a welcoming table offers a place of respite, let your kindness offer a safe haven for weary souls. By sharing what you have and extending an invitation of kindness, you reflect the heart of Christ and demonstrate His love in action.
Reflection Questions:
1. How can you actively extend kindness to meet the needs of those around you?
2. In what ways can your life be a welcoming table where others find comfort, nourishment, and acceptance?
Daily Morning Prayer:
Loving Father, guide me in practicing the kindness that opens doors and invites hearts. Help me be attentive to the needs of those around me and respond with open arms. May my life be a welcoming table of love and acceptance, reflecting Your heart to a world in need. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
