The love of Christ is best understood through actions that reflect His attributes.

Think back to a time when someone treated you with kindness. Don’t you warmly recall that moment in detail? Likewise, others will remember when you respond to them that way.
Kindness isn’t supposed to be something we express only when we feel like it. It is fruit of the Spirit and should be a defining characteristic of who we are as God’s children. Just as the Lord pours out His kindness on us, He expects us to be kind as we interact with others (Romans 2:4; Ephesians 4:32).
The apostle Paul tells us, “Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience ... And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity” (Colossians 3:12; Colossians 3:14 NIV). Notice how he describes these traits as clothing—something we can put on, something we can grow into.
Kindness may not be innate, but thankfully, it can be learned. Ask the Holy Spirit to point out moments where a kind touch is needed from you. And always remember that it not only blesses others but also delights our heavenly Father.
Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 26-28
Pat McAfee has gone from a successful NFL career, to an enormously successful and popular media personality. The former Colts All-Pro punter built a large and loyal following in the digital media space. McAfee didn’t need the help of a mainstream media platform to become a major player in broadcasting. That all changed when ESPN and Disney came knocking this week. McAfee is ditching his deal with FanDuel to dive into the corporate cult of ESPN. His role is abundantly clear to Jason; they want McAfee for his “bro show” to serve as a beard for Disney’s real agenda. “McAfee knows why ESPN dropped a bag at his door. McAfee’s white-male-dominated show is intended to be a dog whistle to the white male, traditional sports fans who have grown tired of Stephen A. Smith, Kendrick Perkins, Ryan Clark, Jalen Rose, Molly Qerim, Elle Duncan, and Malika Andrews constantly pushing the white-man-is-the-devil narrative.” “Fearless” contributor T.J. Moe and Royce White join the show to discuss the McAfee defection. It’s the return of Coach Jason Brown of “Last Chance U”. Coach JB joins Jason and T.J. to destroy ESPN’s J.J. Redick and his take on the Ja Morant gun saga. Plus, NBA aficionado Jordan Bowles stops in to talk Nikola Jokic’s triple-double against LeBron’s Lakers in game one of the NBA’s Western Conference Finals.
