Referencing this list, would you not say Christ is the ultimate kindness shower? If there ever existed in the history of all mankind a person whose kindness we should emulate, it’s Christ, himself! Consider this long list of references to the kindness of Jesus. And, not just simple acts of kindness, but, miraculous kindness! And, a long list of the displayed power of God, with miraculous results in the lives of others.
If you were to need healing, would I not want that, for you? Or, if you needed sight, would I not long for your sight to be restored? If you were unable to walk, would my heart not break for you to have the freedom to move about as freely as I? And, if the bread you needed were the abundance I enjoy, would I not want to share this with you? If you told me you are visited and tormented by external powers which torment you, and I had the power within me to rebuke those spirits would I not want that freedom for you? And, if I could make influence of the situation with my resources and cause you to be in abundance, how could I withhold this blessing?
My nurse friend, our precious and all powerful Jesus wants to do all of this in our lives, as well. He wants to change our wrecked lives and repair them to show His redemptive glory. He wants us to be so overflowing with abundance, that we share with others and point to them to Jehovah-Jireh, himself! When we leave our sick bed, and go to minister to others’ His story of resurrection power should be on our lips so they, too, can request healing. I’m not preaching a prosperity message, my very life is an example of the prosperity Christ has given me, personally! In the tender middle school age years of my life my parents divorced. As the youngest of five, and daughter to a deadbeat dad, Christ has sustained my life, to this day, in order that I might bring Him to others. I have witnessed the kindness of Jesus! I know the kindness of Jesus! I am living proof of His kindness! I pray you, too, will come to know Him and experience what kindness he wants to show you!
