Good – Kindness

Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. — James 4:17

Jesus taught this principle when he healed on the Sabbath (Mark 3:1-7) and told the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29-37). Our Lord made it clear that to neglect to do a good deed for another in need, even if we had a religious excuse for not doing it, was to do evil.

 Let's be a people known for doing good deeds and sharing kindness. Let's not let any excuse, especially a religious excuse, interfere with our glorious and holy opportunities to serve others in the name of Jesus.

. Isaiah 55:3
Give ear and come to me;
 listen,  that you may live.
 I will make an everlasting covenant  with you,
 my faithful love  promised to David.

. Isaiah 55:13
Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
 and instead of briers  the myrtle  will grow.
 This will be for the Lord’s renown,
 for an everlasting sign,
 that will endure forever.”

. Isaiah 60:20
Your sun  will never set again,
 and your moon will wane no more;
 the Lord will be your everlasting light,
 and your days of sorrow  will end.

Heaven’s calendar has seven Sundays a week.  God sanctifies each day.  He conducts holy business at all hours and in all places.  He uncommons the common by turning kitchen sinks into shrines, cafes into convents, and nine-to-five workdays into spiritual adventures. - Max Lucado
