This is a video about being kind to others and yet you react with what seems to be an intentionally inflammatory comment that has no basis in anything other than your own personal perceptions. Your username implies that you love Jesus, yet you aren’t acting with the grace and love he preached.
If you seek to only love those who are just like you, you will eventually find yourself alone with a heart full of hate. I understand fearing what you don’t know and lashing out because of that fear, but that leads to paranoia and an intense need to constantly insist that you’re correct despite factual evidence. That kind of existence is pitiful and I hope Jesus is able to save you from such a sad fate. Remember to love thy neighbor.

@@poyitjdr As I said, “Eyes to see,” which sadly many do not have. I have been given wisdom, discernment, and the breastplate of righteousness by Adonai LORD of HOSTS and Most High One & Only True LORD GOD HOLY I AM. I’m secure in my Salvation and only do, or write, as the Holy Spirit leads me to do. I thank you for your concern and pray that you have a beautiful blessed day in our Savior LORD JESUS CHRIST, under our Heavenly Father ABBA’s firmament 🙏🏼 🕊️

@@SusieLovesJesus So the Holy Spirit itself told you to make a spiteful comment that does nothing but further the hatred in this world? We must have read different Bibles. Your word is not the word of God and your thoughts are not his. Your opinions do not override others.
Besides, it is apparent to both the world and God that your eyes can not see because they’re blinded by hatred. If you would like to practice what the Bible preaches, then seek to understand. If you’d like to know exactly why your comment is wildly inappropriate, then I, a trans person, will gladly take the time to discuss it with you. Until you can dispel your hatred, you are still within the devil’s grasp. I’ll pray for you.

People get tired of give when the rest only want to take without end. If the giving is not reciprocated in one moment most givers stop giving.

Yes. Over years and years of being taken advantage of by past friends, coworkers, and even some family members; it has finally sucked the joy out of giving, or even being really kind to people. People often mistake kindness for weakness, which makes no sense to me. Kindness takes more effort than just doing or saying whatever one feels like without being considerate of other people. While I prefer to live my life in showing love and kindness to others, and will show respect (or be civil( towards people who aren’t necessarily kind to me, I no longer have the fight in me to putting my effort into making a friendship or relationship work if the other person is repeatedly hurtful to me (and if they just don’t put effort into maintaining that relationship). And it really sucks that I can’t just relax, be kind, and be myself without having to be assertive just because someone won’t stop respecting me. This is especially true when I come across people in my life who just want to try and get a rise out of me by saying and/or doing something hurtful. I don’t understand the pleasure some people get from making somebody angry or hurting them on purpose, just so they can watch them get upset or cry. I have now formed an aversion to making new friends. The world wasn’t quite this bad 15 or 20 years ago. I know that there have always been inconsiderate and/or vicious people, but nowadays it’s just insane! If they don’t put you down for fun, they will take advantage of you at the very least.

If you give in order to receive you are not giving, you are bartering.
Giving is unconditional.

My life has been incredibly difficult. I’ve faced a lot of challenges, from poverty to abuse to becoming disabled before the age of 30. My guiding light in life has been the kindness others have shown to me.
When I was in 6th grade, I classmate I didn’t know found me crying because we didn’t have money for new clothes and I’d hit a big growth spurt. The next day, that classmate brought me a bag of clothes. When I was in college and starting to lose my ability to walk, others would help me to my car. I have friends who have supported me through horrific flashbacks. Strangers have helped me jump start my car. Another stranger paid for the choir attire I couldn’t afford.
Those moments of kindness and remembering them have kept me alive in my darkest moments. They’ve helped me heal and provide me with immeasurable hope for the future. Kindness taught me to let go of my anger at the injustices I’ve faced. It has made me into a person who strives to show that same kindness to others. I will never get tired of giving because I know just how much it can mean. Kindness saved my life.
We all wish others would show more kindness to us, but the best way to do that is to show it first. Also, it’s far easier to remember the harm that has been done to us over the good. Try taking some time to think of instances where others have helped you in a moment of need. There’s more than you might realize. Humanity is truly at its best when we look out for each other, but someone has to take the first step. Why not me? Why not you?
