0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.

0:45 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for

0:47 Speaker 2: the Soul of John gift Of podcast. And as you

0:49 Speaker 2: would have seen by the title that we're doing the

0:51 Speaker 2: CDs on how to Practically Walk in Love. We've covered

0:55 Speaker 2: a lot of practical things and this week, as we

0:58 Speaker 2: just get started to talk about a couple of things

1:01 Speaker 2: which maybe you already know. But I just want us

1:04 Speaker 2: to just journey together and pray that the Holy Spirit

1:07 Speaker 2: will show us the areas to get better at this

1:10 Speaker 2: because for me, I don't like to just take a

1:12 Speaker 2: verse at the surface level. I want to go deep.

1:14 Speaker 2: I want to make sure that I'm actually applying this

1:17 Speaker 2: in my life, so that I'm actually walking out the

1:19 Speaker 2: way God intends for me to do. And we already

1:23 Speaker 2: spoke about certain aspects from the passage that's known as

1:27 Speaker 2: the Passage of Love in the Bible in First Corinthians,

1:31 Speaker 2: Apter thirteen, where I spoke to you from verse four,

1:33 Speaker 2: the first part which is love is patient. I shared

1:36 Speaker 2: that in a couple of episodes where I spoke to

1:39 Speaker 2: you about how people are in a work in progress

1:42 Speaker 2: and we need to be people who are patient with

1:45 Speaker 2: people as they are in the process. And today I

1:48 Speaker 2: want to talk about one aspect, which is love is

1:51 Speaker 2: kind You might know this, you might have heard this

1:53 Speaker 2: a million times, but I just pray in the name

1:56 Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ that today will be a moment where

1:59 Speaker 2: you are making the intentional step to see an introspect.

2:03 Speaker 2: If you're really working in that kindness, are you showing

2:06 Speaker 2: kindness to people? Kindness is not just not hurting someone,

2:10 Speaker 2: but kindness is trying to go the extra mile and

2:13 Speaker 2: being good to them when you see somebody hurting. It's

2:16 Speaker 2: not just to say, oh, I'm praying for you, But

2:18 Speaker 2: if you can actually help them in some way to

2:21 Speaker 2: stand with them, maybe give them some money, or to

2:23 Speaker 2: actually help them with an encouraging word, or actually help

2:26 Speaker 2: them in doing something for them. I really recommend you

2:31 Speaker 2: to ask the Lord to show you people that you

2:35 Speaker 2: can be kind to. If you're seeing somebody who's just

2:39 Speaker 2: on the street and they're trying to sell something, and

2:44 Speaker 2: sometimes one of the things that again we can't do

2:46 Speaker 2: this all the time because of our commitments, I'm sure

2:49 Speaker 2: of that that there are times when sometimes, you know,

2:53 Speaker 2: you buy something just to be kind to them. I

2:56 Speaker 2: remember they recently been for a dinner and we were outside,

3:03 Speaker 2: you know, waiting for the vehicle, and there was a

3:06 Speaker 2: little boy coming and trying to sell something that I

3:09 Speaker 2: think like a cross or something, and there was no

3:12 Speaker 2: need for a rose, but looking at him, I just said,

3:16 Speaker 2: you know what, I feel sad for you. Everyone else

3:19 Speaker 2: was just like trying to ignore. I was like, I'm

3:21 Speaker 2: buying that. And then I gave him a one hundred

3:25 Speaker 2: Indian rupee note and I just gave it to him.

3:29 Speaker 2: He wanted to give me the rose. I said, no, no,

3:31 Speaker 2: it's I just want to bless you. And then just

3:34 Speaker 2: because he was he started crying and then he gave

3:36 Speaker 2: me two roses. But here's the thing I want you

3:39 Speaker 2: to understand, right Like I, of course you know that

3:42 Speaker 2: rose would have been like twenty Indian rupees, but I'd

3:45 Speaker 2: given him a hundred rupee note. But the thing is

3:48 Speaker 2: just that act of kindness, you know, like I didn't

3:51 Speaker 2: have to buy I could have just said, you know what,

3:53 Speaker 2: that's his problem. But that is what is to be

3:57 Speaker 2: in that place where you're sensitive to look someone and

4:00 Speaker 2: be like, you know what, let me be generous with

4:03 Speaker 2: money or time. Sometimes. The other day I met with

4:08 Speaker 2: someone and this person just wanted to went and even

4:11 Speaker 2: though I had some things planned out, I was like,

4:14 Speaker 2: you know what, this person needs this and took some

4:17 Speaker 2: time out and to just invest in the person. See

4:21 Speaker 2: what I'm trying to say is we all have our schedule,

4:23 Speaker 2: busy schedule, and for me, I've shared this so many times,

4:26 Speaker 2: my schedule is as arctic as ever. I work in

4:28 Speaker 2: a full time corporate job. I'm an aerospace engineer and

4:32 Speaker 2: I'm running the ministry with a daily podcast, YouTube, socials

4:35 Speaker 2: and TV everything like this so much on my plate.

4:38 Speaker 2: But the thing is I've been praying God helped me

4:41 Speaker 2: to be intentional about being kind to people, kind to

4:44 Speaker 2: people through my actions, kind to people through my words,

4:48 Speaker 2: because sometimes all the people need is a word of encouragement,

4:52 Speaker 2: just to say, hey, you did a good job. You know,

4:55 Speaker 2: sometimes we tend to withhold good things right, But I

4:58 Speaker 2: challenge you cool go out and be the guy who

5:01 Speaker 2: wants to give in to people, you know. Or what

5:04 Speaker 2: I mean, like for example, for my nature is I

5:07 Speaker 2: just still remember even yesterday in church, the pastor preach

5:11 Speaker 2: the sermon and I went to him. I just said, hey, faster,

5:15 Speaker 2: you did a great job today. I really loved your message. Now,

5:18 Speaker 2: to be honest, I'm saying this from my heart, you know.

5:22 Speaker 2: Like I mean, people can just say he's just doing

5:25 Speaker 2: his job, you know what I mean, He's just doing

5:27 Speaker 2: his job. But I was like, no, because I'm a minister.

5:31 Speaker 2: I know how it feels when someone comes and tells

5:33 Speaker 2: me sometimes your message was a blessing to me, and

5:36 Speaker 2: I'm like, I want to bless others. I want to

5:39 Speaker 2: go and tell him. And today, if you're listening to this,

5:41 Speaker 2: you know, it would be awesome if you could connect

5:44 Speaker 2: with me, maybe through the socials like Instagram or Facebook,

5:48 Speaker 2: or through YouTube, or some way, or you can even

5:51 Speaker 2: connect through my WALSAP broadcast and reach out and say

5:54 Speaker 2: how these messages have been a blessing to you. You know,

5:57 Speaker 2: don't just keep it to yourself. Be someone who's kind

6:00 Speaker 2: enough with your words to encourage someone. You know. I

6:04 Speaker 2: talk more about encouraging later in another segment, but today

6:07 Speaker 2: I'm challenging you to make it your commitment to be

6:11 Speaker 2: someone who would be kind kind to one another no

6:14 Speaker 2: matter what. Today ask the Lord, Lord, whom can I

6:17 Speaker 2: be kind? To Show me someone that I can fulfill

6:21 Speaker 2: them with your kindness. Show me someone that I can

6:24 Speaker 2: go the extra mile and be nice to someone and

6:27 Speaker 2: help them phether through action, to through deeds, through works,

6:32 Speaker 2: or through work words or just doing being there for them.

6:37 Speaker 2: It could be something. And I pray that the Lord

6:40 Speaker 2: will show you people so that you will go the

6:43 Speaker 2: extra mile, that when you walk people will say, hey,

6:46 Speaker 2: this person is an emblem of kindness. This person doesn't

6:51 Speaker 2: have pride or anything, is so kind all the time.

6:54 Speaker 2: And I pray that you will be that. In the

6:57 Speaker 2: name of Jesus, Immen, God bless you.
