Why Kindness Is An Act of Resistance

God uses our kindness to change the world. I also think that kindness is an act of resistance. If the world is a frustrating place to you, if you get angry about the way things are, you have two choices and anger is not the answer. Kindness is an act of resistance. It is heart in a heartless world. It is kindling a light in the darkness. It is a resistance against the injustices of a self-interested society and it keeps the rumour of God alive. So be kind: intentionally, deliberately, surprisingly. If you're going to live like that though I think it's very important that we don't try and do that all by ourselves. It's important to be embedded in the story of God's kindness. Our kindness doesn't come from ourself. It comes from being part of what God is doing. It's a fruit of the spirit and it needs to be rooted in the kindness of God.  Revd.  Mark Fletcher.
