Extending Christ’s Kindness

Bible in a Year :

Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. And they wept.

Genesis 33:4

Kindness or revenge? Isaiah had just been hit in the head by a wild pitch during a Little League regional championship baseball game. He dropped to the ground holding his head. Thankfully, his helmet protected him from serious injury. As play resumed, Isaiah noticed the pitcher was visibly shaken by his unintentional error. In that moment, Isaiah did something so extraordinary that the video of his response went viral. He walked over to the pitcher, gave him a comforting hug, and made sure the pitcher knew he was all right. In a situation that could have resulted in a brawl, Isaiah chose kindness.

In the Old Testament, we see Esau make a similar, though far more difficult, choice to abandon any long-harbored plans for revenge against his deceiving twin brother Jacob. As Jacob returned home after twenty years in exile, Esau chose kindness and forgiveness instead of vengeance for the ways Jacob had wronged him. When Esau saw Jacob, he “ran to meet [him] and embraced him” (Genesis 33:4). Esau accepted Jacob’s apology and let him know he was all right (vv. 9-11).

When someone demonstrates remorse for wrongs committed against us, we have a choice: kindness or revenge. Choosing to embrace them in kindness follows Jesus’ example (Romans 5:8) and is a pathway toward reconciliation.

Reflect & Pray

When have you been met by kindness after acknowledging a wrong? How might you show kindness to someone else?

Dear Jesus, please help me to follow Your example and extend kindness when I’ve been wronged.

Find out how forgiveness can save your relationships.

There was a little more testimony from Costello, and the defense rested.

Court is adjourned until next Tuesday.

No court on Monday for Memorial Day.

Both sides met with judge on jury instructions.

Summations begin a week from today.

They may have a session a week from tomorrow on a Wednesday.

I did not see whether Merchan entertained a dismissal.Because the trial is moving along to its conclusion,I imagine he is not going to grant a dismissal.

The thing that keeps me going is that all these evil doers are quite old. It won’t be long before they’re having to meet their maker and explain.

More fascism.

1” wood blinds are a thing of the past.

Starting the beginning of this month they are no longer being made. The reason is the cords that are used to raise and lower the blind. The ones that have been existence for probably a century now. The fear is children hanging themselves from the cord.

The headrail for the 1-in blinds is not wide enough to hold the contraption that helps the blinds be raised up and down from the bottom.

I would guess that Generations ago people were actually watching their children. (And perhaps noticed if they were depressed.) It’s probably more The Accidental issues of getting the cords around their necks. We’ve always had blinds, never happened once with my child. or even cats that played with the cords.

We have Anderson Windows so they have a nice wood frame. The only type of blinds that looks good in them were the 1-in slats that fit inside the window. Anything else mounted outside would cover up the window. I wanted to get a different color for one of the windows, that’s how I figured out there was a problem when there wasn’t anyone inch wood blinds anywhere.

Trump would say during a few rallies a few months ago “I wonder what Jack Smith’s real name is?”

RPOTUS knows everything.

WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the “Icebox,” and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE. NOW WE KNOW, FOR SURE, THAT JOE BIDEN IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. HE IS MENTALLY UNFIT TO HOLD OFFICE — 25TH AMENDMENT!
