ACTS OF KINDNESS
_What fails you?_
_Such wisdom does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic._ (James 3:15)
Failure in acts of kindness may be caused by lack of a genuine position and Godly inspiration.
There are some acts of goodness that are driven by personal interest. This is when people do good for their own names and benefit.
According to James that is not good.
Jealousy, selfish ambition and bitterness are not from God. Wisdom and jealousy cannot dwell in the same heart.
God's love is for all and so did Jesus die for all. Bitterness, selfish ambition and jealousy are not fruits of the holy spirit. They are earthly acts; they are not spiritual.
Any one who claims to be a Christian yet harber any of these three attributes live under the guidance and influence of the devil.
James actually declares, they are demonic and from the devil the great betrayer.
Other good acts may be done seemingly out of goodwill as acts of kindness and yet in the real fact they will be acts of betrayal, luring their recipients into unknown danger.
To win our race, let all our acts of kindness be hearty, honest and driven by the love of God.
Amen
