DAY 21: Radical Kindness
There are probably students
in your school who have said that they are gay or bisexual. They
may
think that they
could never be Christian, or that Christians don't like them. Many
of these students believe that Christians hate them and that God
may hate them too. But God offers love and forgiveness to everyone
who
repents and puts their trust in him. And He gives freedom from
the things that keep us in bondage to sin.
Think of someone at school who identifies themselves as gay or bisexual,
or who might feel out of place at a church. Make time today to talk
to them and show them through acts of kindness that God loves them.
...the kindness of God leads you to repentance... Romans
2:4b
Suggestions
- Apologize for any bad attitudes and mean jokes you or other
Christians might have shown them.
- Be kind, without compromising biblical
moral beliefs about homosexuality.
- Ask them what they think about
God.
- Explain how God loves them and wants them to know and follow
Him.
Adults
Think of someone at work who is openly gay, or living another alternative
lifestyle. Make opportunities to tell and show them that God loves
them.
