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)
