Teaching Children to Practice Kindness – Children’s Devotional

“Be kind to one another, merciful, forgiving one another, just as God forgave you because you belong to Christ.” Ephesians 4:32

Just because the Bible teaches us to be kind doesn’t mean it’s easy to do. We often don’t want to be nice to the person who might benefit from it. Sometimes it’s because we feel selfish, or because that person has hurt us and we don’t want to forgive them. Sometimes we think we are too busy to help you.

Bible stories that teach children about kindness

There are two special Bible stories that first come to mind when I think of kindness.

The first is from Jose. Even after his brothers hatefully sold him into slavery, he helped them. When they came to Egypt to buy grain, he tested his motives, but in his heart he forgave them. He eventually told them who he was and opened the way for them to come and live in Egypt so they could have food.

The other story is the well-known tale of the Good Samaritan. He went out of his way to help a stranger in need who was injured. He was on his way to somewhere but when he saw the wounded stranger he had compassion, he had mercy on him.

The Good Samaritan bandaged his wounds, poured oil and wine on them to cleanse and help heal them, and then mounted him on his own donkey and took him to safety. He even paid the innkeeper to look after him and promised to return to fulfill his mission of kindness.

We should definitely be nice to our friends and the people in our lives who are nice to us; That’s the easy part.

How Being Kind to Others Blesses Us

God also wants us to be kind and helpful to anyone in our life that we can help. God promises us that if we love even our enemies and help them, He will reward us. If you are merciful to others, God will be merciful to you. He will also bring you people to help you with your problems.

Kindness is a fruit of the Spirit. Only God can grow the fruit of goodness in your life if you allow him to do what he tells you to do. When you do kind things for others, you will receive a blessing from God that is far better than anyone else can give you.
