Be Kind and Forgive One Another Jesus told many parables as part of his teaching. One of the most familiar parables is that of the “prodigal” or lost son. After taking his share of his father’s inheritance, this young man spent the inheritance and made a mess of his life. When he finally realized the mistake he had made, he returned home where his father welcomed him with a forgiving and joyful heart. (Luke 15:11-31)
Jesus showed kindness to people who were poor, lonely and sick. Who are the people we know who need kindness and help today? 2 Corinthians 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. (ESV)
