The real test of kindness isn’t how we treat people who are easy to love—it’s how we treat those we’d rather avoid. Jesus calls us to bless, pray for, and love even our enemies, just as He loved us at our worst. This week, choose one small act of kindness toward someone hard to love, and let God reshape your heart.

We often fill up on “spiritual junk food” — distractions, noise, and busyness — and lose our hunger for God. Just like our bodies need healthy food, our souls need God’s Word, prayer, and worship most. Only Jesus can truly satisfy, so start with Him as your main course this week.

We all need people—especially in crisis—and sometimes those closest aren’t the ones nearby. Proverbs reminds us to value faithful friendships and extend grace, even to those who’ve hurt us. Jesus never forsakes us; let’s reflect that kind of love to others.
