The Power of Small Acts of Kindness
Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: Matthew 10:40-42
Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
In a world that often values grand gestures, Jesus highlights the significance of small acts of kindness – even something as simple as giving a cup of cold water. When we serve others in Jesus’ name, we're serving Him. This passage reminds us that no act of love is too small in God's kingdom. Today, look for opportunities to show kindness to others, especially those who may be overlooked. Remember that in these simple acts, you’re not only blessing others but also acknowledging Christ before them.
How can you be more intentional about showing kindness to others in your daily life?
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…

How can you be more intentional about showing kindness to others in your daily life?
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer:Jesus, help me to see opportunities to serve others in small but meaningful ways. Give me a heart of compassion and a willingness to love as You do. Amen.
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
Take Action:
- Perform a small act of kindness today—buy someone a coffee, send an encouraging text, or help a neighbor.
- Write a thank-you note or message to someone who has impacted your life in a positive way.
