Prompt #18 (Kindness): The Greatest Is Love

Flock of Sheep and Shepherd

A simple act of kindness is the most beautiful action in humanity that the world truly needs.

Kindness is connected with love, and it reminds me of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love is the emotion that human feels.

When love enters, a person will reach out their hands in kindness and care for helping someone in need.

Earlier, when I was scrolling on Youtube, I saw a brief touching video of a little girl and a bus driver in China.

The little girl entered the bus, realizing that she doesn't have enough money to pay on the payment box; the little girl turned around to leave, but the bus driver noticed her concern and stopped her. He asked her what was wrong.

The little girl faced him, and she told him that she doesn't have enough money to go home, so the bus driver decided to stand up and put his money on the payment box for her.

When they arrived at her destination, before the little girl went out of the bus, she stood in front of the bus driver, and she began to explain while holding a red pen.

She told him what her teacher taught her. When a friend helps someone, they will be given a little red flower.

The little girl drew him on the back of his hand with a flower.

There was another scenario. This time was one of my longtime friends from high school and my churchmates. She told me how amazing God's provision is. She shared a wonderful testimony with me.

Back when my friend's financial situation was rough, she grumbled her problems to God with her family's financial situation, and she asked His guidance to her.

One day when she was attending a church meeting. God instructed her to stand in a specific place at the church, and He told her to wait patiently.

Thirty minutes passed; she followed His instruction, and she was getting worried and impatient.

When she was thinking to leave, one of the sisters in the church arrived, and she approached my friend.

She gave my friend the specific large amount of money that my friend needed.

This testimony of my friend was struck to me for many years.

How great and amazing our God is!

There are many testimonies and stories I have to share. Because of a time constraint, I'll finish this blog after writing my conclusion.

Remember my introduction to this blog that kindness is intertwined with love?

The greatest act of kindness and love that is deeply engraved on me and humanity is how Jesus was crucified on the cross for us.

The reason why He did that was to do the Father's will and His great love for us. It is through God's mercy and kindness that He gave us a choice to get out of damnation.

Without Jesus being crucified on the cross, our souls would not be saved.

That's why God encouraged us to love one another like He did for us.

Without loving one another, the hearts of humanity will go colder and crueler.

Through love and kindness, we help one another until we can stand on our own two feet.

After that, the cycle continues. This time, it will be us helping with someone in need.


Note: I described earlier calling one of the sisters. It doesn't mean she was a nun because we don't have one at my church. In my church, we called everyone brothers and sisters.

El amor es paciente, es bondadoso. No tiene envidia, no se jacta, no es orgulloso. No deshonra a los demás, no es egoísta, no se enoja fácilmente, no guarda rencor. El amor no se deleita en el mal, sino que se regocija con la verdad. Siempre protege, siempre confía, siempre espera, siempre persevera.

Este versìculo es grandioso cuando me siento un poco afligida busco a leerlo y me da mucha energìa y eleva mi vibraciòn.

Love is patient, it is kind. It is not envious, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not selfish, it is not easily angered, it does not bear grudges. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

This verse is great when I feel a little distressed I seek to read it and it gives me a lot of energy and raises my vibration.

Greetings

If there is something I value and love about this existential journey is the opportunity of the diversity of viewpoints that the paths present us, to grow and evolve. You know that I am a doctor and when with conscience on the day of my graduation with all my strength, raising my hand in approval I took my Hippocratic oath, which among other things stated that my professional practice would be available to all without considering beliefs. Since that day, I flourished to a new existence, I assumed from the ipseidad the free thought in all the facets that involve religion or creeds, because we are diversity in the interculturality and nobody has the power to judge, by the fact that we are not absolute owners of the truth. Each one can affirm from his firmament, because it is a lived and felt experience and is not subject to discussion and interpellation by anyone. The passages you present to us are marvelous and powerful in reflection, they reinforce the vigorous and magnanimous value of love, it is goodness made emotion in otherness, it is peace in sameness, it is balance of the senses, it is goodness made flesh.
Thank you for always being present at our meetings, thank you for bringing us this spiritual richness for reflection. Health and well-being, love, much love to you !LUV

Si hay algo que valoro y amo de este viaje existencial es la oportunidad de la diversidad de puntos de vista que nos presentan los caminos, para crecer y evolucionar. Sabes que soy médico y cuando con conciencia el día de mi graduación con todas mis fuerzas, levantando la mano en señal de aprobación hice mi juramento hipocrático, que entre otras cosas establecía que mi ejercicio profesional estaría al alcance de todos sin considerar creencias. Desde ese día, florecí a una nueva existencia, asumí desde la ipseidad el libre pensamiento en todas las facetas que involucren religión o credos, porque somos diversidad en la interculturalidad y nadie tiene la potestad de juzgar, por el hecho de no ser dueños absolutos de la verdad. Cada uno puede afirmar desde su firmamento, porque es una experiencia vivida y sentida y no está sujeta a discusión e interpelación por parte de nadie. Los pasajes que nos presentas son maravillosos y poderosos en la reflexión, refuerzan el valor vigoroso y magnánimo del amor, es bondad hecha emoción en la alteridad, es paz en la mismidad, es equilibrio de los sentidos, es bondad hecha carne.
Gracias por estar siempre presentes en nuestros encuentros, gracias por traernos esta riqueza espiritual para la reflexión. Salud y bienestar, amor, ¡mucho amor para ti!
