Think about the last time someone did something incredibly kind for you. Maybe a friend showed up when you needed them, or your parent helped you study for that test you needed to pass, or someone in your Small Group encouraged you with a text. How did it impact you? Oftentimes, acts of kindness like these make you feel seen, cared for, and valued. Well, have you ever considered that you can make someone else feel the same way? When you choose to do good for someone else, you’re not just impacting their lives in the short term (though that’s awesome!). As Christians, the good things we do are more than just that. They’re acts of love designed to shine the light of Christ into the life of someone else, not for our own sake but for the sake of Christ. When we let others see God at work through us, it helps them see Him at work in their own lives, too.

This week, think about kind things you’ve seen others do that you could do too. Then, make an effort to act on it. Shine a little light on someone else this week.
