5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The key to developing RAOK (random acts of kindness) as a way of life for you and your friends is a three-part process. We have to be kindheaded, kindhanded, and kindhearted. Often, showing kindness to someone you don't like is a sheer act of will based on the knowledge (kindheaded) that Jesus loves them. But claim the power of God's grace and just do something kind for them (kindhanded). While you may not have an overnight change of heart, over time you will change. You will experience a different kind of love (God's agape love) and you will never be the same (kindhearted). Think of people you have a hard time extending kindness to. You don't have to start there, but doing random acts of kindness is about being ready for anything. After practicing a few RAOK, take a few minutes and reflect on the experience and what you learned from it.
