The Power of Unfiltered Kindness

In a world that often demands we protect our hearts, guard our emotions, and be selective in our interactions, there lies an undeniable strength in choosing to show up as your authentic, God-created self generous, open-hearted, and loving. This is the kind of radical kindness Scripture calls us to embrace, even when everything around us urges otherwise.

Jesus exemplified this perfectly. In Luke 6:35, He challenges us:

“But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.”


This verse embodies the essence of unfiltered kindness loving and giving without expectation, showing grace without condition, shining His light even when the world seems to ignore it.

In our daily lives, this means:


  • Speaking gently when harshness is expected.
  • Extending grace where judgment would be easier.
  • Being present for others, even when you feel emotionally drained.
  • Forgiving quickly and loving freely, just as Christ forgave and loved us (Ephesians 4:32).

These acts may not always scream for attention. They may not be loud or visible to others, but the impact they make is profound. Like a single candle in a dark room, your kindness may not always demand notice, but it can warm hearts, soften hardened spirits, and illuminate paths sometimes long after you’ve walked away.


In Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus reminds us of our purpose:


“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”


Kindness is more than just a noble act  it’s a divine calling. A sacred light that we carry, not for our own recognition, but for the glory of God. Even when our acts of kindness go unnoticed or unappreciated by those around us, we can be confident that heaven sees. In our quiet, consistent shining, we are planting seeds of healing, hope, and transformation in places we may never even witness.


So, no matter the circumstances keep showing up. Keep loving. Keep shining. The world may not always applaud your light, but it desperately needs it. And in this act of loving kindness, you are not just spreading love; you are fulfilling the call of your Creator.

The Corpse in the Backyard

Introduction: Everyone has a backyard ,the place where they bury the painful, shameful, or terrifying parts of their past. The corpse in the backyard is symbolic of those unresolved experiences: betrayal, poverty, rejection, fear. Though buried, they still rot and release a stench that seeps into every part of a person’s life. And the tragedy? While you are busy maintaining the backyard checking if the corpse is still hidden, covering the smell, reinforcing the fence you neglect the front yard: the now, the next, the new. 1. The Corpse of Betrayal You were loyal. You were honest. But they weren’t. Now every new relationship is judged by the standard of the pain you buried. You became a detective instead of a lover. Suspicion replaced vulnerability. And even when good love shows up, you chase it away because you’re too busy guarding your backyard. “ Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” Isaiah 43:18-19 2. The Corpse of Poverty You k...

I Married My Best Friend

Introduction Best friendships are built on smiles, tears, and shared moments that weave bonds of trust, love, and commitment. These bonds, when nurtured, become the foundation for unshakable relationships. The emotional depth created through shared joys and challenges lays a strong groundwork for love to flourish. As the quote by C.S. Lewis beautifully states, “Friendship is born at the moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.’” This kind of connection fosters understanding, empathy, and mutual respect, all of which are essential for a lasting marriage. The Bible underscores this principle in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NIV): “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.” A marriage founded on true friendship mirrors this wisdom, where two individuals become each other’s support system through life’s hig...

The Lost Truth About Love

  In the fast-paced, material-driven world we live in today, love has been misinterpreted and overshadowed by societal standards. Often, people equate love with provision, leadership, or vision—values that, while significant, do not define love in its true, Biblical sense. The Body of Christ needs to unplug from these societal expectations and return to the foundation of love as ordained by God. The Biblical Foundation of Love Ephesians 5:25 commands, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” This verse serves as a profound reminder that love is not merely about meeting physical needs or fulfilling societal roles but about self-sacrifice. The model of Christ’s love for the church is one of unwavering commitment, grace, and selflessness. Provision, leadership, and vision are outcomes of a love centered in Christ, not the seeds of it. Psalm 37:23 states, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.” W...
