Random acts of kindness are not as random as we would like to believe.
I just re-posted a video uploaded by a FedEx employee who delivered a package to the house of a woman. In many deliveries, the trivial niceties are usually exchanged:
How are you this morning? Sign here.
I'm fine. How about you?
I'm fine. Hope you have a good day!
Yea, thanks! You too!
But this time, the woman replied that she wasn't having a good day because her husband was sick. Awkward! But as the FedEx employee had to rush to complete her deliveries, she bid the woman goodbye. To cut a long story, she felt burdened so when she complete her route, she felt drawn to return to that woman's house. When she did, she simply hugged that woman, who broke down and was very grateful.
It didn't cost her a thing but her time, but it made such a huge difference to that woman who needed some comfort, a shoulder to cry on, just knowing someone cared.
Lord, help me to listen to Your Holy Spirit when You whisper, and when You tug at my heartstring to do something for someone else. Let me always be open to act in kindness when You tell me to, because I know that it wouldn't be random. It would be a God-purposed act.
