Why Kindness Is Never Wasted

In these last few days before Christmas, kindness has been on my mind.

Maybe because kindness is love made visible, and that is the heart of the Christmas story.

And maybe because, like the sun melting the ice, kindness dissolves our differences, mistrusts, and the hostility between us in the world.

Kindness…

Simply caring for others, even when they don’t care for you. Seeing and celebrating the beauty in others, even when they don’t find it in themselves. Giving hope to the vulnerable, neglected, and forgotten, even when they are not able to return it back to you..

Kindness…

Perhaps, our most valuable tool in spreading love. It changes humanity. It changes the world.

AND…

It changes something in you and me.

A simple act of kindness quiets the fear, the anxiety and the worry in us.

Because the love imbedded in kindness shifts your mind from self, and the fear of others. The ‘fight or flight’ mechanism (the amygdala) in your brain is not triggered. Simply put, love is perfected because it bears fruit (kindness), and that drives out fear.

That’s why a simple act of kindness is never wasted.

My friend, try it.

Sprinkle some kindness around you this Christmas, and experience peace within you.

Finally, a suggestion: In 2007, I started a charity called Juma’s World — jumasworld.org. It releases children in Tanzania from poverty. If your heart moves you, make a donation in support of Juma’s World. Thank you!

How to See the Miraculous in Everyday Life

It was 4:20 a.m. when a faint beep cut through the silence, stirring me from sleep. The fridge door had been left slightly ajar. Rubbing my eyes, I rose from bed and navigated through the dark toward the kitchen.

From Birth to Resurrection: A Story of Non-Dual Consciousness

It could be easy to feel a sense of resentment and anger looking back at the religious and political system. Except… Jesus knew the cross was coming. Even before he made the journey to Jerusalem, he was completely aware of what he would face.

Hope Amid Our Polarized Election

The world is divided. Our current political climate in the United States has certainly accentuated our differences and heightened our intolerance of anyone who doesn’t hold our worldview.

Why Conspiracy Theories and End-time Prophecies May Damage Our Emotional and Spiritual Wellbeing?

It seems like end-time prophecies, or conspiracy theories involving Bill Gates, 5G, George Soro, or “fake news” are everywhere. Having had the opportunity to work with people around the world for decades has taught me that most of these beliefs and theories are rooted in fear.

Have We Missed the Way of Jesus? Living Beyond Religion in the Rhythm of Love

Life often feels like a maze — unpredictable, winding, and filled with choices that shape who we become. I’ve faced those moments when the path ahead seemed uncertain, when the weight of fear and doubt made it difficult to take the next step. But over the years, I’ve discovered that I’m not walking alone. There’s a loving Presence that meets me in the confusion and invites me to see life differently.

I Am Enough

Everyone has a story. I share mine, not to persuade you of a creed, but simply to let you in and help you see where I’m coming from, what shaped me and led me to this point.

Would the Politics of Jesus Offend You?

Why is it that the more polarized our world becomes, the harder it is to love those on the other side? Why do our politics seem more interested in drawing lines than building bridges? And what could we possibly learn from Jesus about the kind of politics that heal instead of divide?
