Text : Luke 17:11–19
Author : Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation :
Many people have stopped showing kindness because of past disappointments. They helped someone who showed no gratitude, and the experience left them discouraged. Over time, they begin to withdraw and question the value of doing good (Galatians 6:9).
However, our Lord Jesus Christ faced a similar situation. Ten lepers were healed, yet only one returned to give thanks. Despite this, Jesus did not stop healing or change His nature. His goodness was not dependent on people’s responses (Luke 17:17–18).
Your kindness should not be determined by how others respond, but by who you are in Christ. When you allow ingratitude to harden your heart, you risk losing a vital part of your Christian character. Continue to do good, knowing that God sees and rewards every act (Hebrews 6:10).
Choose to remain kind, generous, and compassionate. Let your life reflect Christ, who gave without expecting anything in return. In the end, it is not people’s reactions that matter most, but God’s approval and the eternal impact of your actions.
Action Nugget : Show kindness today without expecting appreciation; let your actions be driven by love, not by recognition.
Bible in One Year : Job 25–30
