When you are kind to someone, do you let them know that God loves them? Do you say that? I don't, except sometimes to my kids. I know that when I am kind to someone, I am pleasing God; but I am not comfortable adding those additional words to people I do not know well.
I am so thankful that, even though I surely am most undeserving, God still makes available to me opportunities to show love and kindness to others. In fact, at times it seems that the more aware I am of my own shortcomings, the more likely it is that He will give me opportunities to be kind and helpful to others.
How is it with you?
When people are kind to me and don't say so I just thank them and say a prayer God will bless them. When they mention God I get uncomfortable because then I wonder. Did you do that just to get a brownie point? Then I wonder is that really important? Then the moment is past.
