BENEFITS OF AN ACT OF KINDNESS

Sacrificial giving not for the applause of men.

INTRODUCTION

Kindness is divine ,it is not humanly inspired ,it is borne out of compassion and empathy to come to the rescue  of the challenged or vulnerable in our midst.

What a wonderful topic! Acts of kindness, especially sacrificial giving, have numerous benefits for both the giver and the receiver. Here are some of the benefits:

BENEFITS FOR THE RECEIVER:

1. Meets physical or emotional needs.

2. Provides comfort and support

3. Boosts self-esteem and confidence

4. Fosters a sense of belonging and connection

5. Encourages hope and positivity

BENEFITS FOR THE GIVER:

1. Increases feelings of joy, happiness, and fulfillment

2. Develops empathy and compassion

3. Strengthens relationships and builds trust

4. Encourages personal growth and selflessness

5. Experiences a sense of purpose and meaning

6. Improves mental and physical health

7. Inspires gratitude and humility

8. Creates a ripple effect of kindness

9. Draws attention to the heart, not the applause of men

10. Brings a sense of closeness to a higher power or purpose

Remember, true kindness is about giving without expecting anything in return, not even recognition or praise. As the Bible says, "But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." (Matthew 6:3-4)

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

August Theme

Our thematic issues for this month is #NextGeneration We urge us in love to pick one of the issues under our theme for the month and help share messages, videos, pictures and matters for discussion and action plans under any of the issues. Let's dig deep into the concept of preparing the next generation of leaders, professionals, members of the society among others, which comes from God Himself right from creation and see how it improves acts of charity and social development. Humanity has survived since creation because intentional efforts have been made to prepare for generations to generations. Families birth those who'd constitute the next generation. If we don't prepare the next generation, we'd have a retrogressive situation which is highly preventable. #NextGeneration #August TLF 💚
