Why Should We Be Kind and Compassionate to Others? Daily Devotionals in "Christ Transforms Me." Day 71 of 90

In today's episode, we will dive into the devotional for day 71 of my journal Christ Transforms Me. This is a 90-day journal filled with daily devotionals, scripture, prayer, and gratitude. I first published this journal in January of 2022 when God had put it on my heart to create this journal. Throughout a year of praying, reflecting, and letting God and the Holy Spirit give me all the words, scriptures, and everything for this journal, I published it in January 2022. So each day for the next 19 days, I will post an episode on here going over this journal.

Day 71 Scripture:

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." -Ephesians 4:32

Day 71 Devotional:

"We are all humans and we all make mistakes. It's so important to get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, and all of that, and just be kind and compassionate to other people, even when we don't agree with them. Everyone in every walk of life is different and we just have to be kind to others, show compassion, and be forgiving. Not everyone is going to have the same heart that we have. Not everyone is going to think the same way that we do, so we can't expect people to act according to the way that we think they should act. God sent His only son to die on the cross to forgive us of our sins, that was the ultimate sacrifice. If God can forgive the world of all of our sins, send His only Son, and all of that, then we should be able to show kindness to others and have compassion in our hearts as disciples of Jesus Christ."

I do have this journal available for purchase on Amazon if you want to go and grab one:

So if you want to grab one of these journals and go along with me each day with the journal physically in your hands, then go ahead and do that. Otherwise, you can just pull up the notes on your phone, or you can get a notebook, loose-leaf paper, or a binder, however you want to do it. I want you to just take a few minutes and write down things that you are thankful for and then also write down some prayer requests.

Today’s Prayer:

"Lord thank You for forgiving me and always showing me kindness and compassion. I seek to always be kind to others. Please open up my heart to Your love and to love others. I can't thank You enough for everything that You've done Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen."

Today's journal questions:

Has someone done you wrong?

Have you truly forgiven them? Why or why not?

Based on scripture, how should we act towards all people?

"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." -Matthew 6:14

So that is it for today's episode. I will be back tomorrow for day 72, so make sure you stay tuned for that.

I love you guys so much.

Never forget to choose faith over fear.
