Monday Measures for November 17, 2025

Monday Measures: Kindness in Motion

Scripture reminds us that kindness is active, intentional, and deeply transformative.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others…” — 1 Peter 4:10

Holding a door, sending a message, offering a seat, listening without rushing—these small gestures often carry more weight than we realize. What if the woman you held the door for had just lost her job? What if the person you reached out to had just received difficult news? We rarely know the full story, but we do know that everyone walks through hard days and heavy seasons.

This week, let us measure success not by what we accomplish, but by how we uplift.  Let's strive to love like Jesus.  Let's show kindness even when we feel it isn't deserved. From a quiet act to a bold offering, kindness can plant seeds of healing in places you may never see.  

Try This:

• Write a note of encouragement to someone who has been on your heart.
• Offer help without being asked—at work, at home, or in your community.
• Pray for someone you find difficult to love. Ask God to soften your heart.

Kindness is contagious. Service is sacred. Let both become part of your rhythm this week.
