Kindness in Obedience: Doing Good When It’s Hard

‍

Intro

Yo—it’s Muscle Dogg, and let me keep it real:

Obedience to God ain’t always easy.

‍

Sometimes He asks you to show kindness where your flesh screams “nah.”

But here’s the thing—faithfulness means obeying even when it’s hard, even when it costs, even when no one else understands.

‍

That’s where the strength of your faith really shows.

‍

1: Obedience is Greater Than Excuses

1 Samuel 15:22 says:

“To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.”

‍

That means:

• God values your obedience more than your outward show.

• Excuses don’t move Heaven—obedience does.

• Faithful kindness is saying “yes” even when your feelings say “no.”

‍

Obedience is proof of love—not comfort.

‍

2: Kindness in Obedience Mirrors Christ

John 15:12 says:

“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”

‍

That means:

• Jesus’ love wasn’t convenient—it was sacrificial.

• True kindness isn’t about who “deserves” it—it’s about reflecting Christ.

• Obedience means loving with action, not just words.

‍

When you love like Christ, people see Him through you.

‍

3: Faithfulness Brings Fruit You Can’t See Yet

Galatians 6:9 says:

“Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”

‍

That means:

• Your obedience may feel unnoticed, but God sees every act.

• Faithful kindness planted today brings a harvest tomorrow.

• Weariness is real, but the reward is worth it.

‍

Obedience now = blessing later.

‍

Conclusion

Kindness in obedience isn’t about how easy it feels—it’s about how faithful you’re willing to be.

When you choose to obey God’s call to love, even when it’s hard, you’re showing the world a glimpse of His heart.

‍

Call to Action (CTA)

Ask yourself today:

What act of kindness has God been nudging me to do that I’ve been putting off?

‍

Do it. Don’t delay.

Your obedience might be the breakthrough someone else has been praying for.

‍

What to Hold Onto

• Faithfulness is obedience over feelings.

• Kindness is most powerful when it costs you something.

• God sees every “yes” you give Him.

‍

So obey.

Be kind.

‍

And trust that your faithfulness plants eternal fruit.

Muscle Dogg loves ya—keep saying “yes” to God.
