Hi, I’m Jonathan,
and this is “Iron Sharpens Iron.”
The quality we’re going to talk about today
is one of the things that drew
sinners, sick people, and children
to Jesus
—kindness.
Like Jehovah,
Jesus was kind to the good and the wicked.
His kindness wasn’t dependent
on whether people were first kind to him
or even liked him.
Instead, Jesus always showed kindness
because he understood
how the quality impacted people
and brought praise to Jehovah.
What about us, though?
Whom can we show kindness to and when?
Excuse me, visiting times are over.
You all need to leave.
Oh, I’m so sorry.
I thought we had a bit more time.
We still have five minutes.
It’s OK, Emily.
Tori, we’d better go,
but we’ll be back soon.
That was mature of our sister
to calmly leave with her group
even though
she did have a few more minutes.
But could she have done more?
This brings us to our first step
to being kind
—empathize.
Ask yourself,
‘What might the person I’m speaking to
be dealing with or need?’
Then show that you care by really listening.
You guys, just go.
I’m just going to—
Hi.
Hi.
I just wanted to say thank you
for taking such good care of my friend.
You’re welcome.
Sorry I was so direct earlier.
It’s just that we’re short-staffed
and under a lot of pressure.
Isn’t it amazing
what a simple thank you can accomplish?
The nurse must have needed that.
When a person shares their feelings with us,
we want to speak
warmly and respectfully.
That’s our second tip.
When we feel genuine compassion,
it comes through in the way we speak.
We need to choose
our words and tone of voice carefully
and avoid saying anything
that might offend someone.
It’s just that we’re short-staffed
and under a lot of pressure.
There’s no need to apologize.
I’m sure being a nurse is rewarding
but has its hard days.
Today is one of those days.
Well, at least you have a nice cup of tea.
Had—I spilled it
and haven’t had time to get another.
Well, you’ve really had a tough day,
haven’t you?
My name is Mandy.
Mary.
Nice to meet you.
I’ll let you get back to work.
Didn’t she do well?
She brightened someone’s day.
But now that she knows the nurse,
could she help her?
This is our third step.
Being kind involves
more than thoughts and speech.
It involves action.
So we want to look for opportunities
to help people.
Will this require time,
energy, and sacrifice?
Likely.
But it will be worth it.
Here.
You deserve this.
Oh, you didn’t have to get me tea.
I know, but I wanted to.
Thank you so much.
Can I ask you a question?
Mm-hm.
Who’s that lady you visited?
I see so many people visit her.
She’s a really close friend of ours
—family, really.
We’re Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Ah, your people are always so kind.
Thank you.
I feel like—
Tori, she’s such a good friend to me.
Our motive for being kind
should always be genuine,
so there may be times we show kindness
without transitioning to a witness.
However, people are more willing
to listen to our message
when they sense we care about them.
So in review,
the three steps to show kindness are:
(1) Empathize with the person;
think about what their needs
and concerns might be.
If they express their feelings, just listen.
(2) Speak warmly and respectfully.
People can sense genuine compassion
through our tone of voice and words.
(3) Be helpful.
Look for ways to assist people;
it might just open the door
to giving a witness.
But remember,
more than any other method or tip,
like Jesus, just love people
because, as the Scriptures say:
“Love is . . . kind.”
