Daily Devotional

When my husband Gary came home from the Gulf War there was a period of 5 years before the VA designated him 100% permanently disabled. I won't go into all that that entails but during that time he wasn't able to work consistently because of his disability. So obviously our financial situation was never secure.

As I was reading in 2 Samuel and came upon this verse I was reminded of those years. The Lord used the kindness of the body of Christ to show us He was our provider many times over. And as I recalled those times I realized that kindness is one of the fruits of the Spirit from Galations 5:22-23! I don't know how many times I have read and quoted those verses and glossed over the fruit of kindness! But thinking back I'm not surprised, because the love and joy those kind acts portrayed exuded the outpouring of the Spirit. Those memories bring smiles to my heart all over again and challenges me to open my eyes and heart for the Lord to use me to show kindness to others.
