00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:07.040
<v SPEAKER_00>God doesn't force change.

00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:09.919
<v SPEAKER_00>He leads with kindness.

00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Listen to Romans 2, verse 4.

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:20.079
<v SPEAKER_00>It says God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance.

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:26.480
<v SPEAKER_00>God's patience draws people close, creating space for transformation.

00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:32.159
<v SPEAKER_00>When you walk in kindness, you reflect his heart towards those around you.

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.920
<v SPEAKER_00>You become a safe place for others to encounter God.

00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:45.600
<v SPEAKER_00>I want you to pause to thank God that he leads you with kindness, not pressure or fear.

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.640
<v SPEAKER_00>Reflect on how his patience has shaped your life.

00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:16.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Now ask God to help you lead with kindness in your relationships today.

00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:21.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Tell him where you're tempted to be controlling, frustrated, or impatient.

00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:26.719
<v SPEAKER_00>And ask him to replace those reactions with gentleness and grace.

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:34.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Invite him to use your kindness to influence others in a life-giving way.

00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Let that awareness affect how you treat others.

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:22.080
<v SPEAKER_00>Help us extend that same grace to others.

00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:23.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
