Podcasts about kindness boomerang

# IntroductionI am *thankful*(!) for the PUD, usually and especially these last few days, and while fully understandable, the one piece of information that everyone signs in to the outage center to see hasn't been available after this last storm: Estimated Time to Restoring service. *That's what we really want to know.* I don't have the answer to that this morning, nor is the sermon threading a timely needle.The next paragraph in Romans would totally be applicable (it includes 8:28!), yet I don't want many to miss it, and maybe preaching something a shorter in light of the lack of light, and the circumstances, will work for today. So am I giving you the answer(s) you were hoping for this morning? Perhaps (not). But it's also proverbial, and fits with our ongoing Sunday evening series, so there's that. The title for this sermon is: “The Kindness Boomerang"Being kind is a God-honoring, Christian virtue, part of the fruit of the Spirit. It can also be Thomas Kinkaided, pictured as something a little too simple and syrupy; it's *very* easy to be kind when no one else is around to annoy you. Kindness can also be ignored in light of criticizing the Thomas Kindkaiders. Since Genesis 3 image-bearers have been *unkind* to fellow image-bearers; our age has just multiplied the speed of ugly with caffeine and the internet.Today I want to consider the fact that *failing to be kind is foolish because it hurts you more than it hurts anyone else*. You hurt and harm *yourself* most when you're unkind to others.Let's start by seeing the biblical opposite of that in Provers 21:21, namely, the personal advantages that come from showing kindness. The proverb is composed of two parts that connect kindness with benefits for those who *show* kindness, not for those who receive it.> Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness > will find life, righteousness, and honor. > (Proverbs 21:21, ESV)# 1. The Pursuit (verse 21a_ The first half of the proverb sets the stage and tells us about the pursuit of kindness.> Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness ## The Kind of PursuitWe don't **pursue** something with a sit-around-and-wait attitude. Think of a craving or an irresistible desire that moves someone toward a goal. Informally, we talk about "dogging" someone or something (obviously not here in the sense of cutting someone down, but) in the sense of relentlessly hounding until you get what you're chasing.Very few, if any, roll out of bed in the morning having a good grasp on kindness. The person in verse 21 is characterized by their ongoing pursuit.There's a great example of this kind of thoughtful, initiating, committed kindness by King David. In 2 Samuel 9, David had been king for a little while, and it almost seems like out-of-nowhere he asked out loud in verse 1 (then through verse 13).> "Is there still anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"He must have organized a team of people to find the answer, perhaps the first Kindness Committee in history. David pursued the question with an old servant in Saul's house named Ziba (verses 2-4). Then he sent men from Jerusalem to Lo-Debar, perhaps 125-150 miles away, to get this crippled relative of Jonathan's named Mephibosheth. He brings this unworthy, fearful young man to his palace, promises him kindness (verse 7), and then honors him by not only seating him at his table (verses 7, 10), but restoring to him all that belonged to Saul and his house (verse 9). Mephibosheth was like a son to David from that moment on (verse 11).*That* was a pursuit of kindness. And even though we might not have all to offer someone that King David did, we have so many ways we can show thought and care for others. When, if ever, have you pursued kindness like that?## The Objects of PursuitObviously we've been talking about kindness, but there are two objects we're chasing: **righteousness and kindness**. In context, the idea of **righteousness** also has to do with how we treat other people, rather than how we act before God (though the two cannot be separated totally). This **righteousness** is treating others with equity, justice, and fairness. And **kindness**, the point of the message, is a summary of looking not only to your own interests, but also to interests of others (Philippians 2:3).The Hebrew word for kindness here is *hesed*, a common term in the OT, and one of the handful of Hebrew words even preachers who don't know Hebrew know. When used from men to men, it meant doing favors and benefits for others, especially those who were lowly or miserable or needy. The two things go together: righteousness and kindness. Don't think you're being kind to someone by lying to them, even if you think telling them the truth will hurt. That's unrighteous. At the same time, don't think it's alright to walk all over someone because they did something wrong. That's unkindness. Pursue both righteousness and kindness.How many among us could use a little kindness thrown their direction.# 2. The Promise (verse 21b)The wise person will pursue righteousness and kindness because it's right *and* because it has benefits. Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness,> will find life, righteousness, and honor. This is why the title for the message is "The Kindness Boomerang." When you throw out kindness, it comes back to you even better than when it left your hand. Three results are listed in the second half of verse 21.First, those who pursue kindness will find **life**. Almost always in the OT "life" refers to a quality of life; a mouthwatering joy in the process, not just more years added to your (grumpy) life. Isn't it often visible that the happiest people are also very kind people? Thinking about *your* life, as opposed to thinking about others, is one of the surest ways to be miserable and prepare yourself to die alone. Second, those who pursue kindness will find **righteousness**. This angle has to do with a person's integrity and conscience, before men and before God. You have nothing to be ashamed of; your character will be honorable.And third, those who pursue kindness will find **glory**. This takes the previous benefit to another level. This last word, **glory**, means you earn a reputation and make a name for yourself by being kind. You will get more, or at least better, notice and more reward than if you're catty, complaining, resentful. If you really want to make a name for yourself, be kind.Notice that there are *two* objects pursued, and *three* results. You get back more than you give. Of course, if you move glory out of the result list in the second part of the proverb, and into the pursuit list in the first part, you'll miss out on all the benefits. (There are other contexts where we are to pursue a certain kind of glory, as in Romans 2:6-7, but the proverbial context keeps it as an indirect object.)# ConclusionI said at the beginning that failing to be kind is foolish because it hurts *you* more than it hurts others. We saw the opposite of that in Proverbs 21:21, that being kind is wise because it helps you. But now consider Proverbs 11:17.> A man who is kind benefits himself, > but a cruel man hurts himself. > (Proverbs 11:17, ESV)The positive and the negative are both here. You benefit yourself by being kind, and the benefits are spelled out in 21:21. But God says, the cruel man, the unkind, harsh, mean, unthoughtful, selfish person, hurts himself.Being unkind hurts me more than it hurts you. Being unkind is self-destructive. It destroys your joy, it destroys your character, and it destroys your reputation.The wise man is kind and benefits himself. The fool is cruel and hurts himself.----------## ChargeAs the Lord has shown great kindness to you, pursue righteousness and kindness.## Benediction:> The LORD bless you and keep you; > The LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; > the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. > (Numbers 6:24-26, ESV)

A couple years ago, I had a call with the founder of Choose2Matter, and I love her message. Choose2Matter is a global movement that challenges us to make "mattering" a way of life. When people accept they matter and know their actions count - learning, lives and worlds change. I feel like Say It With Gratitude is on a similar mission; that is to make everyone feel appreciated. This reminds me of the interview I did with Orly Wahba, author of Kindness Boomerang, for the Happy Life Summit. When she was in high school, she and her family went through a really tough time, and Orly had to miss several weeks of school. In that time, no one from her school checked on her, and Orly felt like she didn't matter. From that point on, she made it her mission to make everyone she encountered feel seen. To feel like they matter. I think this is such an important thing to think about. How can we make others feel like they matter? We all want that feeling, right? To be valued, and validated and appreciated.

Orly Wahba found herself feeling shy, lonely and ignored in high school, until one day she looked in the mirror and remembered a dream she’d had as a child to make a difference in the world. She literally changed her personality and life, and began doing everything she could to be the type of friend she’d wished she had in high school. Listen to hear Orly’s experiences touching the hearts of 7 years worth of middle school students, creating a viral video that has been watched by 26 million+ people, and what she’s doing today to continue to spread this boomerang of kindness. Orly Wahba is an author, speaker, educator, entrepreneur and community activist who began her career in Brooklyn, NY, where she taught Middle School children to embrace unity, build self-esteem, and be an influence for good. She’s the founder of Life Vest Inside, a non-profit with a mission to empower people of all backgrounds to lead a life of kindness. LVI shot to national attention when her film, Kindness Boomerang, went viral, landing her a spot on TED. In her spare time Orly loves sports, music, movies, figure skating, and above all, spending time with her family. Nuggets of Wisdom from Orly: "Margarette Mead: Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." "Showing that each and every person makes a difference matters in a huge way. Everybody has something they can contribute." "When a person understands their value, they can now understand the value within each and every person." "To empower people to understand their value, that they matter, that they are significant. And even though they might be one in 7 billion people, the number that matters the most is that they are one. " "So often people do not understand their value. And if you think about it, if you do not understand your value, there is no way you could understand the value of another." "Every single second we have a choice, whether to act or to allow things to pass us by." "When we put something out there positive into the world, the impact and the effects are tremendous, that who we are makes a difference. It does not matter what our job title is but just who we are. That when you walk into the room, you impact people, you affect people. You touch people's lives just by being you. And that is so important to remember." "I believe that any child can learn, any child can succeed. It is just about being able to get through to them, empowering them enough to believe in themselves when they fail. Because a kid that can do well is going to do well, with or without that grade teacher." "I know that you are going to try and push me away. I am one person you are never going to push away." "If you think you cannot do it, you cannot. If you think you dare not, you do not. If you would like to win, and think you cannot, it almost like saying you would not.  If you think you lose, you are lost. For out in this world, we find success begins with a fellow's will;  it is all in the state of mind. Life's battles do not always go to the stronger or the faster man. For sooner or later, the man who wins is the one who thinks he can." "I am in the job of falling in love with people more and more each day. You cannot see the beauty in others if you do not stop and see the beauty in yourself. You just cannot. Kindness has to begin with you. If you do not love you, if you do not truly believe that you matter, that you make a difference, that you are not your job, or you are not how much you make, or you are not how many followers you have, if you are only going to look at yourself in those ways, if you do not truly love you, outside of those things, then how are you going to love other people?" "Loving yourself and building that confidence is not like a video game. It is not like you finish all the  levels and then you won. It is a constant battle. There are days where I feel really low on myself. And that is okay, and that is normal. It is not about always being positive, no one can always be positive. It is not real then. You are allowed to feel down. You have to take ownership of those feelings, but you have to be able to be able pick yourself back up afterwards." "It is very easy to compare ourselves with others, especially in today's world of digital media. When people measure themselves, and measure their value based  on numbers (how many followers, how many likes, how many friends..), those things make no difference. It is a facade; it is so fake; what does it mean? It might for the moment make us feel good. But the only person that could really make you feel good about you is you. Happiness comes from you. It comes from inside. If your happiness is going to depend on a person or on a thing, then it is going to be something that will never become attainable because it is going to be something you are constantly chasing. But if it is happiness based on something that is within you, it is based inside of you, then it is a choice that you make every single day. It is not easy. But nothing that is worthwhile is necessarily going to be easy." "Our ability to stay afloat in a world that sometimes seems to be pulling us downward is inside of us. It is through the kindness that we give to others and through the kindness that others give to us that we keep each other afloat in this world because we cannot prevent the obstacles and the mishaps and curve balls from coming our way. They are going to come. But what we can do, what we have the power to do, what is in our ability to do is to throw somebody a life vest. A lifeline of kindness. That even though they are still surrounded by those troubles, they are still surrounded by those waters, that life vest is the difference between life and death. It gives them the hope to know that it is going to be okay. " "...it is not huge gestures, it is the simple things that make the difference. And what we find often is that when we give of ourselves, we actually receive so much more. In a sense, it is like blowing air in our own life vest to keep us strong. When we give, that is the air that we blow into our life vest, making our life vest bigger and stronger, so we can then help others. Because when a person is engaged in active giving or in active kindness, then we feel so good, and there is scientific evidence and proof behind this. We release endorphins. People are less stressed. They live a longer life." "Confidence comes from a place of strength. A person of confidence will make you feel like you matter. They will make you feel included. They will make you feel important. Arrogance comes from weakness. A person of arrogance will make you feel fearful, will make you feel like you are not good enough, will make you feel intimidated. That is the true test." "I had to learn to be okay with being alone and still loving myself." "Use positive energy to propel you forward. Negativity will only lead you down the road of negativity. The more you start looking for good, the more good you are going to see." Some of Orly's Favorite Things: Personal habit: "Prayer is a very big thing for me. That has kept me the most grounded. It is my guiding star. Honestly, through all the hardships." "From Friday night to Saturday night. No phone. No television. No talking about work. No any sort of electric things. It is just being with my family. Being with myself. Connecting to and reflecting on the previous week as to what happened. How I have grown. To have a great time of connectivity and just hanging out with family and playing board games and stuff." Easy meal: "Fish and beans." Possession: "Magic Bullet" Orly's Favorite Books: "The Garden of Emuna: A Practical Guide to Life by Shalom Arush" and "The Secret by Rhonda Byrne" Best advice received: "Believe in myself and to keep pushing forward. And to know that everything happens for a reason." - Dad Orly's Happiness Formula: 1. Recognizing you matter. Self-Value component. Self-Love. 2. Pursuing your passion. 3. Opening yourself up to ways that you can offer a lending hand to others. Giving kindness. Engaging in kindness. A Challenge from Orly: "Catching Kindness cards. The purpose of these kindness cards, when you see somebody doing it--an act of kindness for someone else--you give somebody a card, and it says on it, 'Tag you're it. You have been caught in the act. Now it is your turn to catch someone else in the act.' Exercise your eye muscle, get out there and spot kindness that is happening around you. Not that is happening to you. It is easy to see kindness happening to you, but the more you start becoming aware of kindness that is happening--good things that are happening in the world--a lot more goodness is going to be reflected back to you. Have at least one positive thing a day that you catch people doing for others."

Orly Wahba is a teacher, entrepreneur, and community activist passionate about inspiring and motivating people to make the world a kinder place.Orly began her career as a middle school teacher, empowering children to embrace unity, build self-value, and use their power to influence the world for good. Trying to reckon with the death of two kids in her school, and guide her students through it in 2011, Orly founded Life Vest Inside (LVI), a non-profit organization with a mission to empower and unite the world with kindness.Through LVI, Wahba encourages people to embrace the incredible power of giving and recognize that in times of hardship, kindness, like a life vest, keeps the world afloat. LVI gained international acclaim when Orly’s award-winning film, Kindness Boomerang, went viral, receiving over 100 million views and eventually landing her a spot to speak at TED2013 on the magic of kindness.OWe got curious about where Wahba's unrelenting devotion to kindness and respect came from. What were the foundational experiences and stories, the moments of both struggle and revelation? How to did she write, film and produce her Kindness Boomerang video on her own, and why does she believe it resonated so widely?Turns out, Orly's earlier life was filled with polar opposites, deep familial love, and also profound social isolation and loss. This led to a years-long spiral after a fire in her childhood home splintered the family into different locations. Emerging from this dark window, she felt compelled to help others, especially kids, experience the world from a place of acceptance and generosity. We go deep into this journey in today's episode.Orly's forthcoming book, Kindness Boomerang, is available for pre-order now.
