A young famous footballer called Marcus Rashford received a letter from a 7 yr old boy,thanking him for all the good things he is doing in helping children through the hard times. It was a nice letter that the little boy wrote,Marcus said the letter made him smile,and added,''Kindness makes the world go round'' At a time of so much gloom it is nice to read things like that, I don't know about kindness making the world go round,but I do believe, as I am sure you do, that kindness is very important.I often think that people have a picture of God,as some harsh severe person ,of course He is Holy,of course He will judge ,but we are told that God is love (1 John 4 v 8 ),and He loves this world ( John 3 v 16 ),we also are told that He is merciful ( Ephesians 2 v 4),and in Luke 6 v 35, we read,' that God is kind',,and then it adds,'to the ungrateful and wicked.' It was Frederick William Faber, who wrote,' And the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind'. Consider the life of Christ,how kind he was, as he went about doing good,he was kindness in person, the world needs kind people,Jesus said,' follow me,how?',well here is one aspect of following him,be kind in the words we speak,and by helping others,yes let us show a little kindness.
