On Sunday I got to see the new Wonder Woman movie and I loved it. I have always been a fan of the comic book heroes and especially Wonder Woman. I realized something. I don't think I want to be Wonder Woman for the same reasons anymore. As nice as it might be to be as fit and strong and capable of handling life as her the thing I admired most in this movie was her heart of kindness.
She wanted to save the world. To help people find the good in themselves so they wouldn't be at war and fighting each other. Isn't that what we could use today. A lot more kindness. We have lost our ability to be kind. We have become so selfish and if it doesn't help our personal cause or if someone doesn't have our same opinion we spew hate and ugliness. It really is a sad world we live in. I've been reading a book by Carey Scott called Uncommon and it is so great. It is a reminder that as believers we should strive to be uncommon. One of the biggest ways we can do that is to just be kind. In our world today being kind is uncommon. It's not the norm.
So like Wonder Woman I want to be kind. Even better than Wonder Woman is the example we have in Jesus. His uncommon kindness reaches beyon anything we are capable of.
So today I really just want to be like Jesus.
