Has anyone ever shown you kindness that you didn't deserve?

[@melaniemartin4319]

That's tough...period!🧖‍♀️🧖‍♀️🧖‍♀️

[@lauranealy4861]

At least 3xs, over the past few years I've been line at a fast food drive thru & the person in front of me has paid for my food & asked the restaurant worker to tell me "God Bless you" 😊❤ This act of kindness has prompted me to do this for others. Simple but shows God is working & moving in folks lives all the time 😊❤🙏

[@janellkunkle5169]

Are you saying the only kindness we deserve is the kindness we earn. Kindness is something you give without conditions. Think what life would be like if that was our Lord's practice.

[@iamjackscompletelackofsurprise]

@@lauranealy4861 I love that! Just a simple act of kindness and encouraging word that may not seem like much to the giver but to the receiver it could mean the world! And the best part about it is when that happens to us, we almost naturally feel prompted to pay it forward 💗

[@lauranealy4861]

@@janellkunkle5169 definitely not saying we have to earn anything...that's why Jesus came to save us remember 😊❤❤❤ I was just giving an example of stranger's unexpected kindness to me that prompted me to do the same for others. We can show kindness in many ways sometimes just listening to someone is an act of kindness that is valuable to that person. Kindness is a fruit of the Spirit...it's not us being kind anyway...it's the Holy Spirit working thru us!! ❤❤❤🙏🙌😊🤗 ...

I’ve been facing some false accusations for the past two years, and with that comes prison time for decades. And I’ve battled depression anxiety, and everything that comes with that, I am so thankful for Levi and his ministry

[@jysk713]

Literally was feeling disheartened from some comments some people made about me a while ago and was asking God for guidance to hear His voice and be corrected where needed but not fear men's opinions if they're not true. Thank you for sharing this message, pastor Levi

[@melaniemartin4319]

What were the scriptures, dude?!🤯🤯💔💔

[@tional5266]

The only opinion to concern yourself with is Gods, unless you believe another person la view of you can only effect you if you value their opinion more than your own, please don’t let someone’s comments about you bother you, it can be a hard habit to break but there so much freedom when internally or verbally you can respond with ‘that’s your theory’ and just move on, too many in this day are flippant with their words and usually what they’ll say about someone else is something they struggle with themselves

[@jessecadena58]

Often, when God seems absent, it is when he is doing the most. Taking God's truth (biblical word) looking at your situation through that lens, you will have calm! Medicate yourself with Gods word! Jesus open our eyes.

[@melaniemartin4319]

Defiance!☂️☂️☂️🌂🌂

[@beverlypasco262]

We are all wired so differently! I have had lots of time to practice loving my enemies. Praying for them, being kind and trying to understand their perspective. Giving them the understanding they are not giving me. For me I never get the same result twice. There is no formula. God only knows. You can never go wrong with kindness, prayer and honesty.. Mother Theresa said that silence is the beginning of wisdom. I find that silence, (which is hard for me) silence and prayer are my greatest friends. God knows what they need and what we need. He is usually working on both at the same time. 🙏🏼Lord help us who love you and want to represent You well. We need wisdom, eyes to see what You see. 🙏🏼♥️✝️🔥🔥

Another outstanding sermon from Levi Lusko who excels at bringing the Word to life in these current times. Thank you for reminding us that we can do the right thing when the wrong thing is happening to us, not on our our strength, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. God bless you, your family and Fresh Life Church 🙏

[@smiller183]

Thank you for being so candid and human in your sermons! So down to earth and relevant. This sermon had me belly laughing at your stories. Love and humor two great ways to reach the world.

I shall do good by thanking my good god in arvance for his healing blessing forgiveness and promises over our lifes and r and dad. And my life and all supports for the good of health and all kids .

[@paru2978]

I recently asked someone why they completely ghosted me and they said they were busy and then proceeded to lie and no apology given for the hurt he inflicted. I told him I hoped he would tell me the truth one day, gave him the things I had for him for his birthday and wished him well.

Awesome message!! 🙌❤ Thank you, Pastor Levi for your openness & honesty!! I feel like I fail when I get upset with folks who push my buttons over nothing. So many angry folks anymore over nothing. I'm praying to be more like King Jesus & to love all people 🙏❤ I've been praying for those who push my buttons/upset me and myself for letting them upset me. But you're totally right...shows them love even if it's a small gesture or kind words.I I have faith...the Holy Spirit will help us 🙏❤🤗🙌

[@LDMooradian341]

I cannot express how much this message and part 1 from last week has blessed me. I have read this scripture before and heard in church, but this perspective was so different. I know it is God's timing. The revelation of what the Lord is doing right now through Pastor Levi and us as believers. God does care about the little things. There are things that I am currently trying to let go. I am asking the Lord to help me love those who have been unlovely toward me. P.S. If you are reading this you are loved, you are not alone, we have ANGELS ministering for us and we have more on our side! This is so reassuring! Amen.

This is a good episode

[@aliciacasas5788]

Good preaching, but I’ve been retaliated at work and I really don’t want to befriend people like that😭 I really have a problem with evil people😳

[@Anne-ku3lj]

I don’t think you have to befriend them, as in invite them home for dinner. I think the way that we gently respond to the evil actions of others is enough. They will go away and think about that. Sometimes even years after you are no longer in each other’s lives. I used to be quite a mean and bitter person (childhood abuse and neglect), but the people that have stayed in my memory, years after the fact, are the ones who didn’t respond to me in the way that I deserved. They are still positive and powerful influences on me and my behaviour, even years after we left each other’s lives. They are the kind of people that I aspire to be like, and yes they were mostly Christians. Be blessed.

He blesses us in many ways. All out of love. He Is Love. 🙏 He opens our heart, renews our mind, and opens our eyes to His purposes 🙏 ... Sidenote Levi was quoting Elbert Hubbard I believe 🙏
