Kindness is rewarding. An interview on the science of kindness with Dr. Marcie Hall states that,
“It helps you feel more relaxed. So, by increasing serotonin, kindness is able to decrease feelings of depression and anxiety and increase your happiness. And then another benefit is that it increases your endorphins.”
Science is yet again catching up with what God has said from the beginning. There are benefits to being kind.
Here’s what I’m talking about:
Proverbs 11:17 NLT
Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you.
Now, a reward isn’t always material. The reward could be kindness in return. It could be recognition one day in the future. It could simply be the joy you receive from being kind.
Yet, just as much, the latter is true. Your cruelty will destroy you. Cruelty looks like hatred. It’s not just physical but can also cause mental harm. It can be bullying someone, making fun of them, or spreading rumors.
So remember, kindness is rewarded. Cruelty leads to destruction. Every day, in every moment, you can choose which act you want to be a part of. I hope you choose the most rewarding. Let’s make kindness great.
Now or Never
