“Your kindness might not move others – or even matter to them at all – but it’s still worth extending. It’s never a waste. The Lord himself receives it and treasures it as precious because it is a reflection of his own unilateral love for centers.”

– Jared C Wilson, Professor at Spurgeon College

One thing that we have seen all over the world is that kindness is prevailing in uncertain times. People are coming together in the most unusual ways. Amid the fear that we see all over social media and the news, there has been a definite outpouring of community, love and support. Do something random – show kindness in unusual ways. Call a friend you haven’t talked to in awhile.

Donate to a charity. Arrange to have a video lunch with a co-worker. Offer support to your neighbors. It will help to try and see this as a different period of time in your life, and not necessarily a bad one. There are still lots of things that we can do for other people to inspire kindness in unforeseen times. 

What are ways you have shown kindness to others?

“Such difficult days and yet God is doing so much in it. It shouldn’t surprise us. We see it through the Scriptures. God is at work in this mess.”

– Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor at Village Church

These days are some of the most unusual days that we have ever lived through. The increase in the Covid numbers, the lack of interaction in our daily live… it can feel so overwhelming at times. It can even feel that God is absent. The good news is that He is not. He is walking this journey with us! Use this time to rest. Rather than lamenting over our current disruptions, use this opportunity to rest. Refocus on what’s important. Spend time with family. Take care of yourself and your mental health. Spend time with God. He is at work!

“I know the best and most helpful thing I can do is lean into the Lord – to trust God with each day, to spend time in His word, and pray that He continues to demonstrate how constant and faithful He is in these uncertain times.” 

– Michelle Hicks

Life is filled with uncertainty, especially in times like these. While many things remain out of our control, our mindset to trust in God is something that we have full control over. You have the power to change what you’re hearing. You have the power to change what you’re seeing. Choose to spend time reading God’s word and reflecting on His words instead of the news. Choose to spend time serving in your community instead of watching things unfold on TV or on social media. Demonstrate love not hate. Contribute to the light and not the dark. Lean into God during this time and he will give you the peace to get through these days.

“If Jesus was to sit down with you as you navigate social media, would he see you as a person making peace? Are you a peacemaker? Are you a bridge builder for God’s kingdom?” 

– Dr. Derwin L. Gray, Lead Pastor of Transformation Church. 

The literal definition for a peacemaker is “one who makes peace”. I guess there’s no surprise there. The question is, do you consider yourself one who makes peace? When you’re on social media and you see a comment, do your fingers start typing? As you’re scrolling, you see a picture that just doesn’t sit well with you and you get that twitch in your chest. It’s a hard road, but the world is crying out for an answer that satisfies the desire for justice and truth. We know that is only found in Jesus. Now more than ever is the time to boldly proclaim our king, the one who reigns forever and is coming to bring peace to the earth. 

Question: How can you be a peacemaker?

“In the wake of COVID-19, we have a tremendous opportunity to build an army of volunteers and leaders in our church, not just an audience of spectators.”

– Todd Adkins, Director of LifeWay Leadership. 

Some may see this time as a stumbling block to their resolutions. Others might see it as an opportunity. This is a very valuable time. Whether you think so or not. COVID-19 has given us a gift. A gift to build on what we didn’t have already. An opportunity to fine tune our skills and abilities. You have volunteers that serve from week to week but did you know that you actually have an untapped army? Use this time to build your army of volunteers. Pour into them and really seek out their passions and what they’re good at.

Originally, one of your volunteers might have just been a 3’s teacher but now, in this time of virtual church, that same person might be a key piece to your ministry. Leaders are arising that normally would have remained in the shadows of the back of the church. Have you found them yet? Have you looked and poured thru your church to reveal these leaders who are among you? Pull out the people that have been spectators – train and invest in them. Today is the day to build an army!
