“The second most important commandment is this: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” Mark 12:31 God’s Word Translation
Each loving act says loud and clear, “I love you. God loves you. I care. God cares.”
A warm-from-the-oven casserole taken to the home of a sick friend…
A bouquet of flowers from your garden given to a neighbor…
A thank-you note sent to the performers who did such an excellent job during a concert or play you attended…
A loaf of freshly baked cinnamon bread brought to the office for coffee break…
A box of cookies taken to the police station on Christmas day to encourage those who are “on duty” during the holiday…
A call to ask with genuine care and concern, “How are you doing?...”
We may not think of these as acts of Christian witnessing, yet they are. Every act of lovingkindness reflects God’s lovingkindness for His people. We give because Jesus Christ has so freely given His love to us. He is the example we follow.
Never dismiss an act of lovingkindness as being too small or inconsequential. God will magnify even our smallest deeds to reveal His love to others.

A little act of kindness can touch someone is ways we cannot fathom.
No wonder it is the 2nd greatest commandment.
Susan, you are so right on.
I've found that even a smile can turn a person's day around. But God wants me to do more than smile, I need to give more of myself.
