Yes. I see random acts of kindness as a more basic form of "disinterested benevolence" which means that a person is obediently waiting on the Lord before doing sacrificial acts for others. Jesus is the prime example of "disinterested benevolence." This speaks of a vast spiritual maturity.Random Acts of Kindness
Random acts of kindness is a beautiful “thing”.
I believe the beauty of such a gesture is without any consideration or foreknowledge of the recipients ….
Personal, political, religious, views.
IOW, it is Love from the Heart…and negates an interrogation to carnally determine if the recipient is worthy of kindness.
Glory to God,
Taken
Jesus said..."I only do what I see My Father doing". This kind of disinterest (not soulishly or emotionally invested) is Christ-like.
I'll give one example of that disinterest. The story of the Phoenician woman. She asked Jesus to heal her daughter...and His response was seemingly callous..."why should I give to the dogs what is meant for the children?"
Now, most people would react emotionally to be snubbed in such an insulting way. But God was testing her to see if she cared about her daughter or her own ego. But not this lady...she replied with maturity and faith. She was disinterested in her own ego. She replied "even the puppies eat the scraps that fall from the children's table". So Jesus, seeing the faith and wisdom in her attitude, was MOVED to comply to her request.
I see this story as very enlightening...what it means to be ready to do all things....but with a filter that waits on the Lord. Let God be moved. Let God arise. Keep our own interest out of it.
Even though this thread is about righteousness and having a good disposition towards our fellow man in a very basic way....yet, this points to the MUCH DEEPER selflessness of Christ. On that level we are talking about holiness.
