I came across this quote by Nikki Banas (themindsjournal.com) and it got me thinking about the impact of kindness:
“You never really know the true impact you have on those around you. You never know how much someone needed that smile you gave them. You never know how much your kindness turned someone’s entire life around. You never know how much someone needed that long hug or deep talk.
So don’t wait to be kind. Don’t wait for someone else to be kind first. Don’t wait for better circumstances or for someone to change. Just be kind because you never know how much someone needs it.”
Once we become aware that our actions have a ripple effect with far-reaching consequences, we should clothe ourselves with compassion. Always choose kindness. (Colossians 3:12).
