Sneaky Goodness
I don't want to be sneaky in an evil way when I show kindness to others. I know that God will use it or not as it pleases Him, and I cannot move others against the reality of He Who is the Truth, nor do I want to work against God's purpose. Showing kindness is my nature. He put it into me. But I might get twisted around if I think I have the power in me to move people by my kindness. If I contrive it, perhaps that's sneakiness in a good way. I'm glad this society expects it, so the fallout of being discovered in such a gambit is limited from the shocks of other societies and times. God's goodness pervades all - He makes His sun to shine on the wicked as well as the justified! He uses the good He puts through our bags, dear Christians, and we are blessed to enact all His goodness. I only ask that you consistently do it for yourself to let it come naturally and for pleasure.
