Kindness is how my faith shows up on an ordinary day.

A Bible affirmation for everyday faith, rooted in Ephesians 4:32.

Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32 · BSB

Reflection

Paul's picture of Christian living is very ordinary: be kind, soft-hearted, quick to forgive. Not because people deserve it, but because God forgave you in Christ. Grace received becomes grace given.

A prayer

Lord, make me kind today in the small moments, especially with the people closest to me.
