2 Samuel 9:7 NIV “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
For those who don’t know, Johnathan was a great friend to David. When Johnathan’s father, king Saul, lost his mind and tried to kill David, Johnathan would warn David of king Saul’s intentions. When David became king, he desired to show kindness to anyone in King Saul’s linage for Johnathan’s sake.
It’s important to be kind and loving to everyone simply because we’re children of a kind and loving God. But our kindness could potentially impact people associated with us.
Our child may get a job based on how we treated the hiring manager’s father when we worked at that company. Our grandchildren could receive unexpected money from the church receptionist based on our positive interactions with her. Even when we leave this earth, God will ensure that someone associated with us will reap the harvest from the positive seeds we’ve sown.
So, be kind to all because our kindness will be a blessing to people associated with us.
