Are you
spreading love and kindness everywhere you go, or just snarls, scowls, and
glares?
February’s Awakening, Day 18
Spread love everywhere you go: First
of all in your own house…let no one ever come to you without leaving better and
happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face,
kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.
—Mother Teresa
Love is always open arms. With arms
open you allow love to come and go as it will, freely, for it’ll do so anyway.
If you close your arms about love, you’ll find you are left only holding
yourself.
—Leo Buscaglia
We
ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so,
because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for
one another is increasing. 2 Thessalonians 1:3 NIV
As
God’s envoys here on earth, it is our responsibility to spread His love and
kindness to everyone, everywhere we go. It is truly amazing what a simple smile
can do to brighten someone’s day. Even more so, smiling is healthier for us and
causes us to put on a whole new attitude. Wear that attitude, service with a
smile towards all mankind, and you’ll reap innumerable benefits and blessings
in return. Love with open arms, letting it pass freely from your heart to those
you meet and you’re guaranteed that love will find its way back to you too.
Love and kindness are contagious and powerful forces that each one of us has access
to. Choose each day to take off the game face and put on the kindness face—if
you do, you’ll win at life’s game too, and enjoy the journey so much more and
so will everyone around you.
