It's not a common thing where people go out of their way to be nice, unfortunate but true. As Christians aren't we called to go above the norm, to stand out and do something unexpected? Now I'm not here or making this post for any sort of recognition but yesterday as I was leaving the parking lot of my school there was a girl who was trying to get over in my lane, and for all who don't know, the traffic entering/leaving my school is always ridiculous. Knowing that it was going to make me wait even longer to exit the school, I decided to go ahead and do it anyway. Why not help someone out when you can? You might just make someones day.
I'm not saying that we should make it a complete inconvenience on ourselves but why not just be nice and help a person out when the opportunity presents itself. Romans 5:8 says this, " But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Christ died for us even though we pretty much slapped Him in the face with our sin and betrayal. Aren't we called to be imitators of Christ? Would Christ hold a grudge? Would Christ reject someone for their looks or actions? Would Christ purposefully hurt someone? The answer is no just in case you couldn't figure that one out. Christ wouldn't do any of those things. Christ loves us, with everything, He truthfully loves us and cares for us.
I just really feel that the nicer we are, the better we show our faith to others. Be different, and don't just hide in God's gift, show others what it looks like.
