KINDNESS: "The Lord shows you His unfailing kindness." 1 Samuel 20:14

But if my father intends to harm you, may the Lord deal with Jonathan, be it ever so severely, if I do not let you know and send you away in peace. May the Lord be with you as he has been with my father. But show me unfailing kindness like the Lord’s kindness as long as I live, so that I may not be killed, and do not ever cut off your kindness from my family—not even when the Lord has cut off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth. 1 Samuel 20:13-15

Prayer:
Your kindness, shown to me through Jesus Christ, Gracious Father, has profoundly changed my life. Thank You for helping me understand the importance of being kind and thoughtful toward others, as You are toward me. It is easy to show kindness to those who are kind to me, but teach me, Lord Jesus, to reflect Your unfailing kindness toward those I find difficult to love or feel are undeserving of my kindness. Loving Savior, please never withhold Your unfailing kindness from my family and friends who feel unworthy because of their failures or guilt. Holy Spirit, grant me an opportunity today to make a difference in someone’s life through acts of kindness. I pray in Jesus’ mighty name.
