The often quite random acts of kindness we may experience in our lives are seldom forgotten. They can mean more than great achievements or grandiose gestures. The barriers we put up to showing kindness to others are often unintentional: anxiety, fear, insecurity, and ambition are feelings most people experience regularly in this unpredictable world. We sense our need to address them, and this turns us inwards, leaving little time for considering the needs of others. Yet, if we can help others, we help ourselves and immediately start to feel better. Kindness soothes the troubled soul of both giver and receiver. Can I overcome my barriers to kindness?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-1c1799f7a7d91dde0206234ee642d72b\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong><em>There is a balm in Gilead,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>To make the wounded whole.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>There is a balm in Gilead,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>To heal the sin-sick soul.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Sometimes I feel discouraged<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>And think my work\u2019s in vain,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>But then the Holy Spirit<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Revives my soul again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Spiritual Hymn.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-534112c69135935f76e48614c8e4ed12\"><strong>Can<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>I<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>find<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>some<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>of<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>that<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>light<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>of<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>unselfish<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>kindness<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>that<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>I<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>sometimes<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>see in others?
