Not really a religious person myself, but I still dig the overall message of this video! Kindness over "niceness" is indeed a very good value to live by! Take my like
Thanks for checking it out. Peace. 🙏
i met so meany thugh that do very nice things then say "this is how you get your blessings" in otherwords ONLY being "good" for a reward. seems very few even less than say those who belive choose to be kind for sakeness of kind. yet from logic of bible that person will still be flung to hell.
@@nightmarerex2035 being kind to others for show is a form of pride, thus not a true act of faith from the heart. Usually, good works done through the heart, in private, have merit to God

Being nice is a self discipline thing, being kind is actually caring about others. Kind people do not do good just because it's good, they do it because they want to.
This channel is the best thing I’ve discovered in the last few weeks.

all i said was " God replace my heart with yours" and i just started to smile so much out of nowhere man i love God so much
Amen. Me too. Peace 🙏.
No homo my guy
Wow ❤
Me too!
i teared up reading this. god is real, i feel him
One thing I do when I am in public and find myself feeling negative towards others is this….I simply imagine what their faces would look like if they were smiling. When I visualize them smiling it humanizes them. It immediately changes my thoughts and feelings towards them and I begin to feel so much love and compassion towards them.
That's a really good advice
Everyone wants to be happy, safe, free, etc. Some people just get really, really messed seeking it in the wrong ways.
You just gave me the best advice I've ever heard! I'm definitely doing this from now on 😊 thank you
That's amazing advice!!! Thank you so much
I actually really like your style of teaching. Your voice is calming but has an air of humble authority. You’re logical but you seem to recognize that logic isn’t all that makes the world beautiful. I love your stories and the way you tell them. I love your videos too, they entertain me, make me laugh, and make me think at the same time. They are easy to digest but have a level of spiritual depth I really appreciate. Your media style (the sounds, the animation, the graphics, etc) also provides a rich and hypnotic experience. You make me want to seek out God in a way I have been looking for.
Please keep up the good work, I’d love to see more! 🙏 ✨🤍
Thank you so much for this comment. 🙏

Is that a movie name?
People who are nice have brought dissonance to me since i was a kid. At first i didn't understand why i felt that way.. i was asking myself : why do i feel like this when they're being nice to me?
But as i got a bit older i started realizing why, and seeing through the fakeness of being nice.
Kindness on the other hand, now that is something so pure and beautiful, it will make any person light up and feel better.
I hear you... Growing up being "nice" on the outside but empty & sick within had not only led me to question myself what it really meant to be kind and to challenge them even... but to even be fed up with dealing with "nice" & indifferent people while hearing their lamentations coming out of their hearts in diguise of defending against each other on the table. I will either numb the anguish heart of the Lord for them at times, or, just help them without being seen or asked. Which I think that was more likely a coping mechanism to flick or test if there was even kindness (you know what I mean) in heart. Sometimes, just tell them plainly the truth at heart a bit observing them... my eyes undeniably dislike. Deep down, I just long for at least one person to be open to the truth & love of Christ only God knows (I.e. so far not hearing any testimony from anybody I talk to). I may not even know what I'd get out of from giving a free box of pizza I got to a Malay cleaner who only understood Malay better... but, I can trust only God, who knows and has the right to be compassionate with her or not.
Thus... it's unexpectedly relief that there were even those in Heaven for having the least bit of kindness in them. The Bible in the book of Matthew chap 25 backs up this fact from the video.
You are like me
I'm definitely cold and cynical and I pass a lot of indifference to people. But I am getting worse to the point where I don't feel any positive emotion at all anymore. I know I need a change. I'm glad I found this video. Thanks.
How’s has it been?
I found that I feel my worst when I haven’t been kind to others because I was annoyed or mad at myself but I also found that I am happiest when I’m showing kindness to others. I don’t blame you for where you are right now as everyone experiences valid struggles but I hope you’re feeling more positive as a person now. The thing is, kindness is something that spreads and so a lot of the time, people who are cynical and cold could be good hearted people who didn’t receive kindness. So if you didn’t really have anyone in your life who you filled you with sunshine, then I’m sorry about that. I guess this shows that a lot of the time, kindness is there to aid people who are feeling negative so that they can feel positive and spread it to others. It’s ok to be indifferent sometimes but kindness is better and if you have the opportunity to share it with others, do it! Because that helps them to become kinder too if they are struggling somewhere in life. Anyway, I’m glad you found this video cause you have your own valuable way of showing care to others. I hope that you are able to surround yourself with kind people and can find the strength to be kind to others.
I just wanted to say thank you for giving Christianity an amazing creative representation! Keep it up because it’s changing peoples lives!!
I really appreciate that. I’m simply passing on the things that have changed my life. Peace friend. 🙏
Amen 🙏
Yeah too many people give it a terrible representation and made me resent religion as a whole, this however, is just... different.
@@Narasthenics many christians say that christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship. it is a relationship between you and God.
many people see him as a best friend but i see him as my father (he is described like that in the bible) so i read the bible almost everyday and pray (having a converstion) everyday.
if you ever feel alone just speak to him. call him God, Jesus, Yaweh (there are more names but search it on the internet)
anyways God bless you
Who exactly is Jesus in your religion? I got a doubt and I hope you can clear that doubt.
I think part of what helps me with kindness is not thinking about it too much. If I’m doing something for someone, there’s no reason for me to make a big deal over it.
The less of a big deal it becomes, the easier and more natural it becomes because it becomes the norm.
There was this study made with little kids, where adults do something like drop a pencil, and the children's impulse is almost always to empathize and help, like taking the pen and giving to the person who droped it. Very cute.
It's natural to empathize with our fellow humans, we just have to not put any barriers and it will most likely come
how about if someone wrongs me and i can’t help but feel unkind and angry towards them. i want to not care so much and be okay with it.
@@alma801the way that I do it is to just accept it as something that has happened, know that we can’t change the past, even if they regret it, and then find a way to move on. That might be by apologising to them even if I didn’t do anything wrong, or by finding a reason that they did it so that I can empathise with them. Don’t hold a grudge, it will ruin the possibility of a relationship with them.
I’m an atheist, but I do really like the way you bring the topic of God: it feels genuine and that makes me happy. I’m striving to bring more kindness to the world, and I just wanted to say I appreciate how you brought the importance of kindness.
I hope your day will be filled with kindness. It means everything 💙
Have fun people taking advantage of you, and you stepping into doormat energy.

Why? Jesus is the epitome of kindness
Coldest comment ever@@changeyourheart2921
Kindness is a simple yet difficult topic. Kindness that isn't about yourself but just about doing the right thing for the right reasons. The thorns from the world and from sin sometimes seem to suffocate any kindness that may be trying to flourish. Loving yourself is difficult too. How to love yourself without becoming self-absorbed and all those other evil things a person can become.
I think there’s an incredible sort of quiet power that comes with being extremely kind.
It’s crazy, when you take the love that God freely gives to you and reflect It onto people like that it gives you this weird, powerful presence that really allows you to touch people’s hearts. Especially when someone does something hurtful to you, and you reach out to them with genuine kindness and understanding even in spite of how they tried to hurt you… It’s hard to describe but it really makes people stop and think about what they’re doing.
The people that lash out at others and hurt others the most are usually the ones that need love the most- it’s like trying to reach your hand out to a stray hungry dog shivering in a corner in an alley. It’ll try to bite your hand and it’ll snarl at you, but really it’s just hurting and scared, and in need of a little kindness.
P.S:
I discovered your channel through tiktok and I’m now binging your content on here and I love your videos man. I really think God is working through you to better the world, and that’s something to be extremely proud of. By the way I also judge food based on how much the bag ends up weighing- if you ever end up eating at chipotle, you can get double portions of everything besides the meat for free.
Amen. Thank you friend. Once again, very well said. And thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate the encouragement. God bless you... And I am going to chipotle now just to test tha. Ha!
u forget that narcissists lurk prowl and prey on nice people, they are their prey of choice. nice pple NEED to know how to say NO and mean it.
@@Lauren-vd4qe indulging someone in their illness is neither nice nor kind. One cannot be nice or kind without the discernment when 'no' is appropriate, when 'no' is called for. Inability to say no is anything but kindness, let alone niceness
@@TurningTesting well of course, why wd u think otherwise.
@@Lauren-vd4qe could you please expand? I'd like to understand what prompted you to write this particular response
passing on kindness takes practice and patience to look at someone and treat them as a genuine person. the anatomy of peace by the harbinger institute was a good book to explain this.
I had this friend that gave me kindness. She was someone that made me feel important, and made me feel like I had self worth. She was extremely kind to me, and an amazing friend. So kind, that I started to fall in love with her. I told her I liked her, and she rejected me, and we stopped talking. I feel broken after that, but when I get better, I want to pass on that kindness that she gave me because I know how great it felt.
I struggle with this, I want to be kind person and to take an interest in other people because I know that is what is right but it is under the guise of nice and seems transactional. Can you move from selfishness, fake niceness to kindness? I feel so fake with people and struggle to empathise with them, I'm always amazed at people like my Mum who genuinely seems interested in people and kindness is what she gives. That's her superpower alright!
You don't know how great an impact these videos are to us even if we are few. Thank you.
I would be really interested in seeing a video on the subject of "If God, why confusion?"
I appreciate the comment. And the great idea… I have some stuff written on that. Peace 🙏.
This channel is underrated
Amen to that!
This is exactly how I've been thinking about it! Some people can be nice, but superficially, you can quite literally feel the animosity that they have towards you. Kindness is the real thing. Niceness ≠ Kindness.
This helped me a lot. I realized that im very self centered when it comes to my inside desires and thoughts but on the outside im a "nice" person. When im caught up with myself and what I want I lose that part of myself that is kind and empathetic.
Ive been struggling with depression lately and your videos gave me a lot to reconsider in my life
If you ever feel like youre underrated, please know that your content does so much for people who really need it
Thank you for this comment friend. It means a lot to me. I wish you peace with whatever you are going through. 🙏
Here too. I struggle greatly with kindness even though I've been a "Christian" for decades now. I haven't been formally diagnosed, but I think I may be on the Autism spectrum (I don't care who knows). My whole life I've never really even had the desire to make friends or socialize with anyone, am often indifferent or easily irritated by people, especially in my family. I know *about* God's love, especially about Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, but I've never been able to fully *process* it or experience it to lead me to true repentance. I find praying difficult for the same reason; I don't feel like I ever connect or experience His presence. Please pray for me! 😢
@@ebinrock prayed for you 😊
@@ebinrock Prayed for you, my friend. Lord Jesus, you see this person who realizes the difference between knowing about You, and knowing You. You have heard their cry to be able to truly repent and receive Your love. This is already a wonderful revelation You've given them. Not many people who are nominal Christians realize this. You must love this person, Lord. I ask that in addition to the revelation of need that You have given them, that You would give them a revelation of Your grace, of salvation, of repentance, of love, of growth, of kindness, of Your Spirit, and of Your heart. Grace them with the fullness of joy that You have given Your people, and change them into Your image increasingly.
Pray my friend! Keep praying. The Lord hears one who won't stop asking, seeking, and knocking. Love you!
Maybe you're bored and need to reevaluate what you read, watch, think, and do.
i've spent a long time trying to be kinder than i was, and sometimes it's really hard. but, man, you just have to keep going. trust me. it's all worthwhile when you're in bed thinking about your day. keep going
Pointers for the spiritually uninterested:
- try to be helpful
- be patient
- share your experience
- inquire about the other person's experience
- stay away if the other people seem to not want any of that
That is in my experience so far is what kindness is, a form of trust.
You’re killin it man, beautiful high quality stuff, most underrated channel I’ve ever discovered. I hope to watch you for a long time
YESSS! I’ve been so excited for another one of these; every single one pushes such a strong message in the most simple way :)
Thank you so much. 🙏
I never thought about the difference between kindness Vs niceness. However, YOU have TERRIFIC hack of creating VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING content, and I LOVE IT! IYOU make videos that are entertaining , relatable while teaching at the same time, which I LOVE! I HOPE u read this so u KNOW how YOUR context makes i, and I’m POSITIVE MANY MANY other people self reflect For us seeking to be a better person bc there is ALWAYS room for improvement! You also give ideas on HOW and WHERE to start when wanting to do the things mentioned in ALL your videos. YOUR videos are DEFINITELY like pebbles thrown in the water, never knowing how far your impact has travelled and the changes that have
Occurred at a result. PLEASE keep those pebbles coming! Because I and SOOO MANY other people sure will be watching for them to drop in the water and willing to ride the waves that come! Once again, u provide a PHENOMENAL perspective! U may not be the WONDERFUL women at McDonalds but as u said, we each have our own unique way. So for anyone questions if God is real, just look at the BILLIONS and BILLIONS of ways where something like kindness if delivered differently by each and every person! Yet, the word “Kindness” is just one word that can is STILL IS shown differently by EVERY PERSON WHO HAS LIVED! it’s truly magical and I’m personally in AWE of just that ALONE! God is EVERYWHERE u just have to stand back and try to look at things like child would bc they are amazed by a simple flower. We don’t have to lose that wonder and amazement as we get older…we just have to work at keeping it! Thank YOU SO MUCH! God bless you ALL!
Amen, and well said lisa. I am in awe of that as well. Glory to God and thank you for this! I really appreciate it.
... Poof! 💘💥
I once had a partner who at the time of our break up would wipe my tears and provide me with support, but when asked to explain his issues with me he would turn into an unempathetic and cold person. He didn't do it as an act of revenge but he had never learned to forgive people, or have peace in his soul. It struck me when I realized that his "care" was coming from his need to be labelled as a supporter. People like that will behave like a helper to one for their own self fulfilment. As the video said they will cherish you but on the inside they may not care at all. I learned the difference between kindness and niceness early on because of that and i am very glad it is being talked about from this youtuber.
Exactly this! I also think being "nice" results in you lacking boundaries and saying "yes" to things because its "proper" and socially acceptable to do everything that everybody asks of you, regardless of wether youre capable or not. Essentially "sacrificing your needs for other people's wants".
But with kindness, you are more capable of making boundaries and sometimes saying "no" to certain expectations in order to take care of yourself and your mental health. Saying "no" so others cant take advantage of your "niceness". Being able to set proper boundaries and know when to say "yes" and when to say "no".
I’m Atheist but derive some of my beliefs from Buddhism and I do love Jesus’s teachings. I try to practice confident kindness everyday and I think what really pulls me out of times of despair, is when I’m able to truly forgive and humanise the other person, practicing gratitude for the good things and surrounding myself with other loving people as much as possible. When we’re inevitably faced with people who bring us down, I don’t think we should feel pressure to act perfectly - sometimes our anger and hurt is justified, and forgiving ourselves can cultivate forgiveness for others. I’m able to be kind when I don’t take their actions to heart and when I remember that sometimes the most “unlovable” people need love the most (as long as we don’t sacrifice our hearts too much). It’s an incredibly powerful and spiritual force ❤
Just discovered this channel from a TikTok video. You make some of the best content I’ve seen in a long time and the explanation, narration and visuals are all spot on. God bless

"Always try to be nice. Never fail to be kind."
Brother, I just want to thank you for making this video. It somehow made it to my recommendations even after a year. This video made me realize that I’ve been lukewarm in my walk with Jesus, and that’s more than likely the reason why I haven’t turned into a kinder person even after these years of “serving” him. This video lead me to pray for the biggest sin I’ve overlooked until now, so I thank you for that too. This channel will be a blessing to many others too, I know it😊
I love your channel. I just really wanted to share something with you . My parents raised me to be an amazing person, i am a really nice person and my heart is so BIG i promise. But all these years i been pushed to the side, everytime i was around people trynna share an opinion everyone used to ignore me. Long story short. I said “used” because the world made me careless, hearless, and now im fighting alone every single day of my life with my own thoughts. Telling myself not good enough and the sadness it’s eating me every single day every second. I want to tell the people who are watching this. Watch out because you don’t know what people are going through with themselves everyday. Love your Amazing work. May god bless you!!!
Great comment. Thank you for sharing. I know we all can relate to this in some way. God bless you, and God understands you. Peace. 🙏
sounds like you need to take an assertiveness class, yes they do exist!! and WHAT do you tell yourself? I dont get weepy when someone treats me poorly or ignores me, I SPEAK UP and internally i think SCREW YOU!! I get MAD, i dont get sad! sad puts you in a black hole, but mad drives you forward, use it to functionally correct them, then GO FORWARD, go do something, visit someone, do errands, just GO FORWARD!
You know out of all your videos this one relates to me the most. When I was a child, I was fully kind, I was a bit of a menace and definitely had my rotten moments but kindness was my strongest perk. I always had to cheer people up, make them happy or just help anyway I could. But over time the world and its people got to me and nearly snuffed it out for good. I became cold and heartless but deep down I knew that's who I still was, I just had no reason to show it anymore. It's not until about a year ago I started to try and become what I once was as a kid, and I've never been closer. it's hard tho, because as a kid I would just chat to anyone, even strangers, I really did try and treat everyone as if they where me, I would walk up to lonely kids I didn't know and offer to play with them, I would buy sweets and offer it to random kids, even adults like teachers. But I'm nearly 20 now and there's many things I want to do but I would just be looked at as a creep, or that "Stay away from strangers" guy. Like if I saw a lonely kid, or even just a lonely adult playing basketball or something, I want to walk up and join them but people just don't like that, or have a fear of that. So it's hard to be truly kind but there's no reason not to be fully kind In all the ways society accepts, you know.
Whoever reads this, just make it a goal to show some kindness to 1 or more people every chance you get, if your the silent type, just say "Hey, you alright" to someone your walking past or waiting in queue with, I try to do this and people just smile and usually say "Hey I'm good thanks" and that's it, but I like to think they go home thinking about that kind stranger who asked if they where ok.
Remember, kindness if free, doesn't cost anything to give it.
Being kind is doormat energy. That's why being nice but focusing on your own life is important. If you be kind, people will take advantage of you.
Ah yes, because you cannot be kind and have boundaries. Got it lol
That's why I assume everyone is evil
These videos introduce the gospel in ways that are relatable and easy to understand... I would love contribute in anyway I can... Great work and keep on spreading love!
Thank you Raymond. And I could use all the help I can get.
You are a gift! Thank you for this explosion of light and joy and hope!
Thank you friend. Keep this in your prayers. God bless. 🙏
im a muslim and i agree, this world need more kindness, and we need to start with ourselves. thanks for the reminder

I resonate with this so strongly. Kindness. So simple yet powerful. Thank you for sharing this, we desperately need more kindness in the world.
My parents always taught me to be kind and humble, and so I try every day, but throughout life I've learned that isn't everyone's mentality. For me, being nice and kind comes natural, for me being kind is an obvious thing, but I've noticed how that is not the case for a lot of people. For them being nice is a burden, they go through their day thinking of how to ruin someone's life because of the slightest offense; I never understood. I've come to the realization, a lot of behaviors not only come from you as a person, but from the way you were raised. This world needs more kindness, I still feel sad about how incredibly surprised people get when they meet, and I quote "such a bright teenager", I always thought we all were, and I'm just left confused, are teens really like the movies, cause I always thought that was utterly and entirely unrealistic, do teens really yell at their parents like that, do they really rebel that much? And for what. This world need kindness.
I feel you so much, you reminded me of a time I was walking to my lectures and there was this old lady that stopped me and asked me where our presidency was, cause she needed to go there. Since my lectures were happening right near where she needed to go instead of giving her directions i suggested that i could walk her to where she needs and so we did. She layed all of her sadness to me, we even took a couple breaks, since of an old age she couldn't walk for long periods of time. I knew that i was already late to my lectures, but i put all that aside, my priority was this nice old woman. After I led her to the presidency she told me how kind i was and how she will pray for me and i really felt the same way you just described, why was I an exeption, why aren't there more kind young people who would prioritise helping others more often. I'm a person who's really introvert and i actually don't like it when even the slightest attention is brought to me, but when it came to that grandma, i just stopped caring and i just hugged her and wished her well with all my heart. It made me happy that i could of been someone who did something good to another human being, yet at the same time i felt dissapointed at our societies and how especially nowadays we're brought up to look only for ourselves.
Got emotional after watching this. I felt guilty, angry and called out at the same time. I've been "nice" to a point where it cost me my joy and genuine connections, dismissing my actual feelings and then getting angry when it's not reciprocated. AANNDD not being honest about those feelings because I don't want to bother the other person. SOOO EXHAUSTING (and narcissistic if you ask me), but no more!
Yesterday, I saw my ex with his new partner, and I really didn't have it in me to say hi to him and I felt guilty. I just couldn't pretend that I was happy to see them yet I'm genuinely hurting, so respectfully I looked ahead and did not acknowledge them at all. I know I'll be okay with time and by Christ's grace I've repented and forgiven him. Hopefully, with time, I'll do better, but in that moment, that's the best I could do. Thanks man!
Bro. You probably won't even read this message, but I have to thank you for this video. Like, a lot.
First of all, I'm graduating in Philosophy. I was never really a good person; in fact, when I look to the past, I see a monster. Recently, a lot of really hard and catastrophic stuff happened in my life and so I woke up to the reality: i was a bad person, and after those events I could see it.
Two years ago, I started looking for a path to become a good person. To be kind. But I always found my evil nature coming again and making everything difficult for me. In your concepts, even though I found this evil nature in myself everyday, I was nice.
Look, I started studying Philosophy for the purpose of becoming a kind person - so, as you can imagine, my main interest is Ethics.
Thing is: I found a "plot hole" in my Ethics, something I always tried to find and repair, because of this video. Somehow, I never really believed I could be a genuinely kind person, even though I always thought that, to be genuinely kind, one should get in really hard stuff. This is the plot hole in my Ethics: if I can become genuinely kind after going through tough things... why can't I believe I can become a genuinely kind person?
It makes no sense. Never could see it, but with your help I was able to understand it.
I wasn't seeing any progress in my kindness lately. Found myself stuck on a mid-level, exactly because I didn't know what I should work on; I couldn't see where I was failing. Now I can. Really appreciate it, brother. You woke me up again.
i am happy for you
i also think i am lucky that my evil nature isn't come yet
The Lord made me kind, I was nice, very nice in fact but my heart wasn't truly forgiving. Now it is and I am in complete peace. It's unimaginable that this even exists. I always thought that problems in life will find their way to take us down but I am always positive now.
My heart is cloudy.
But that's only because I like cloudy skies.
Cloudy with a hint of sun, like beams of light piercing through curtains.
Peaceful yet desolate, waiting and searching at the same time.
The clouds which represent my ability to defend, prevent.
And the mass of stars in the night sky that show me the concept of infinity, a personal oath to myself that I will withstand whatever my next challenges are, because there is always more of me.
Then the Sun which drifts across the sky, illuminating my land of memories with consciousness; that which gives power to my will.
And the ocean that stretches indefinitely, unbound by concept, the understanding that there will, without doubt, be more.
Lastly, the land which stretches out moment by moment, seeking to encompass the entirety of the infinite ocean; the manifestation of my memory, that which directs the path of my will, "me".
Little by little, my land grows across this neverending ocean, protected by clouds, enduring by the glimmer of faraway stars, driven by the bright sun, towards the end of the ocean.
That is the representation of my journey through life, hidden within my heart.
As well as the world which I show to others when I talk.
Kindness is a virtue. Niceness is a social lubricant.
I am nice, but I'm unable to be kind. My heart would probably fall into the "hard" category. So I don't really have anything worth passing on to others
Thank you for this video! It really got me to think about if my actions were actually kind or if I’m just people pleasing. You have a real gift for making videos
This video talks about something I’ve been dealing with for a while. Yesterday I finally think I reached a breakthrough and now today I received this amazing gift of a video. Everything abut this video is just perfect the me; The animations, the sound effects… Wow. God bless you man⭐
These kinds of videos are the kind of videos to not die out, a kind of video that has actual meaning and impactfulness and thought behind it. I know this because even a year later it's on my recommended. I wish more people then a mere hundred thousand would take the time too look at this video, and more then few thousand that actually have this video impact there lives for the better by remembering it and passing it on. when we see something happening we imprint on the people around us whether it be mad, happy, ect. most people find it impossible to be happy when all others are just going about there day, neutral, boring, plain, because by society's standards being happy for no reason is weird, it's wrong, which is really sad.
I was so touched by the softness of his voice but when he mentioned Jesus...I couldn't help but feel overjoyed
Amen 🙏
Some people are not nice, they are godfearing.
Found your channel via TikTok. Appreciate all you hard work and effort towards the channel 😊
amen. thank you friend 🙏
God is so good
As something of a videomaker myself, I see all the work that goes into making this one as a form of kindness. Thank you, brother. Oh, and that image of God's intense heart... That was quite something. I was typing this comment when I saw you showed it again in the end. Thank you.
Im a really kind person, like, so much people say this to me, and people sometimes say that my empathy is unbelievably high
I'm Muslim and I fully support this video. This is some great stuff.
Is a christian - muslim raised kid a totaly agree with you
I never really comment on videos, but I just wanted to let you know that your channel is amazing and is helping me to grow in my faith. Thank you so much for you videos and know that they’re actually being used to change lives❤️❤️
Thank you for the clarity. I see now my heart must be overflowing with love for myself and everything around me and others and my words will follow. I had it backwards.
thank you for reminding me of the purpose we all have but always forget. Looking back, every time I saw the good in everyone, I felt the best way I've ever felt. I think we should start encouraging one another instead of constantly judging. It's difficult but if we all work together, it's gonna be easy.
How awesome it is to come across this when God's telling me to take a stand! God bless you for what you do! I'm still battling my own shyness, but I see things are coming along slowly!
Thank you for dropping another video 🙏❤️
Amen. Thanks for watching.
I was once kind, then people drove me to become nice, then more years passed and people drove me to become bitter.
This guy should be teaching kids. His clarity, and patience and humility is amazing. I love it. All glory to God for God working in this mans heart. Man, if you are reading this. Don't stop. Keep developing your relationship with Jesus. There's been times where I thought "Ok that's too much Jesus" or "enough Jesus" but I was quickly proven wrong. How can you get enough of something that is everlasting? And Jesus is not a "thing", He has emotions and feelings just like us, only He chooses to use His tribulations and trials to serve us who mocked Him, cussed His name, cheated on Him time and time again. Yet, He lived the life you and I could not live and died the death we should have died. He took our place on that cross and rose fron the grave defeating death. And all Christ requires is not working to the point you break your back. But a humble heart that says "You know what, I am not perfect God. I am actually horrible, I've sinned time and time against the only One who loves me the most. I've sinned against the ultimate power. Father have mercy on me, I am sorry. Forgive me and wash me clean from my sins." Then when you realize there is nothing you can do to save yourself, switch your faith from yourself to the One on the cross. The moment you do that God will forgive every sin you ever commited and grant you everlasting life as a free gift, not because you're good but because His mercy is great. Then you'll be born again with a new heart and new desires. You will no longer love sin but you will love the fruits of God. Will you still sin? Of course, even being born again won't make you perfect but the Holy Spirit will now be living inside of you and you can't sin with peace like you used to. (Galatians 5:17) You will have this new resitance towards sin and that is proof that you have been touched by God and are made new.
"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creature. The old has passed away, behold; the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17
"I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. I will remove your heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you so that you walk in my statues, observe my ordinances, and keep them." Ezekiel 36:26-27
A life with Jesus is better than anything else life has to offer. Keep living for Him man and don't ever forget that He loves you and has a purpose for you. You have been bought with a price, so live like it. God bless you man, I love you but more importantly Jesus loves you 🤞✌
I think it can be even harder to be kind after people have been cruel and mean towards you, but... Maybe we should all strive to be kind anyway. I admire people who manage to stay kind no matter how much cruelty they have endured in their life
I just discovered this channel a few days ago and it's soooo well made. I was having struggle with the topic of the problem of evil and his video about it just popped in my recommandations at the same period
That's God providing you with what you need. He's so cool like that. I've experienced Him answering me through people, His word, and signs, but lately, He has been putting things in my feed that are exactly what I've prayed for, been struggling with, or needed help with. I've been overwhelmed with the evil in this world and didn't know what or how to pray about it, and his video on pray popped up. It was just what i needed. Don't know if you watched that one, but if not, you should.
i like how reflecting this is on just a simple thing, which is right before us, and still many struggle to see the difference
There was this one message I got from a skit, “Love isn’t a feeling, its what you do for others DESPITE how you feel”
And its one of the most important lessons that I still have trouble applying to life with. Honestly this video was a reality check, and it’s genuinely made me rethink of how Ive been treating others. So thank you.
"Jesus said whatever is in our hearts will come overflowing out of our mouths" and right then and there I started coughing up copious amounts of blood. Thanks Jesus🙏
What does that mean? I don't understand
@@sherriemota7348 the only thing in my heart is blood
@@zahven I'm so sorry. I still don't get it. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? So sorry. I'm really bad at understanding metaphors. I'm sure other people understand it. But can you explain more? Is it trying to say there is no kindness in your heart?
@@sherriemota7348 I just took it literally. The heart pumps blood. “Whatever is in our hearts” is just blood, and when blood starts coming out of your mouth that’s usually a bad thing. That’s just the image that popped into my head when the quote was said.
Basically it’s trying to say that you should have so much kindness and love that your heart (the place associated with like love) should flow out of your mouth, basically be so kind that your kindness can’t be contained
So simply and wonderfully put. If I may add on a lesson my parents taught me. We can only control our own actions and reactions. When someone else is cruel or passes on something they shouldn't, we have the choice to hang onto it or to set it down. While that person's hands are empty, fill them with kindness. Your reserves will fill right back up. I promise. I'm one of those kind people who gets told I light up rooms and fill people with sunshine. You can be too! It's a choice. It's a daily self discipline. Start small but be intentional and practice daily, even if only in your head. Choose not to grasp onto the yuck others toss around. Eventually, you won't even see it anymore! Life becomes bright and cheery and beautiful. If you don't know Jesus, please seek Him out. He changed my world and allowed me to have the best worldview. He can do that for you, too!
i was too kind once. i shared my code during a CS class with one of my friends, who was about to fail the class. i trusted him to only use it as reference, but he copied every single fucking part of it, and turned it in a day before me. fortunately, the teacher had been paying attention to both of us, so he knew that it was my work. he failed the 'friend' and we never talked again.
The sound design in these videos are absolutely insane
Your videos are so interesting and informative and are in an amazing format that keeps me coming back. You’re extremely underrated and I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel. Please don’t stop making videos!!
Thanks for this comment. I appreciate it. (The glory is 👆) Peace 🙏
This is a great video. I am 43 yrs old. I am in the process of a nasty divorce and my business is falling apart. Yet I still find people interesting and intriguing. I am the guy that can strike up a conversation with just about anyone anywhere. I genuinely like people and am very interested in what they find important. I went into a field that works with Autistic Children and teaching them how to communicate. I struggle with people thinking or behaving in a way that confuses me. I could have some autistic traits myself. Being kind to someone and truly not wanting anything in return other than a positive interaction seems to be uncomfortable for others. People seem to place their motivations, and negative experiences on my interactions with them over time. They tend to think or imply I am out to get something from them. What ever that may be. Because of these responses I have recently started to reduce my interactions with people, yet I still find joy in listening and speaking to others. It does get difficult when small kindness aren’t wanted or returned these days.
I relate so much to what you said about reducing interactions with people because of negative experience, i understand you completely, I am an extrovert myself and I too like people but I had to start to become very serious, mindful and start to guard my heart because my kindness is always mistaken for a weakness and not only that but I was also subjected to slander, accusations because of my character. Not saying that I am perfect, some Saint, but I like people and this lack of reciprocity is draining me so much.
This is mind blowing what world we are living in! People are complaining about how selfish society become, but when someone genuinely friendly came along with no agenda attached - he or she is going to be labeled as a loser who is asking to be taken advantage of. Smh!!
I could write a book about it, lol. But we must be mindful and not allow to crush our spirit, and so we become numb or actually part of 3 Tm3, Micah7 society!!! We must be wise…
Btw, I am also from educational field…
Sorry about your divorce and business, I am wishing you all the best! Greetings!
I was feeling the moment but when you showed his face it scared me lmfao ik i shouldnt be scared of him but the way it popped out shook me 💀
I really love your voice, makes me very happy to hear.
Amazing as always! Your ability to create simplicity from such intelligence is so powerful. I am so excited to see new videos and to watch this channel grow. What a blessing to be blown away by a new video and to see growth of subscribers and likes and knowing that more people are being blessed by these messages. It’s hard to imagine that anyone, regardless of their feelings and beliefs about God and even how hard life may seem for them in the moment, will not be moved and become hungry to know more. The first step in their lives being changed 🙏
Dana. You’re an answer to a prayer. You have no idea. 🙏 God is certainly with you. Thank you for all your comments, they lifted me. I am nothing without God. Please Pray for me and this small ministry that it may grow. God bless you always.
Amazing animation man ❤
I really love the way you are dealing with religion, cuz many people are just walking by and not being deep enough or going through spirtual experience.
My sincere love to your soul ❤
Hey Emran… thank you 🙏. And my sincere love back. Peace always.
I think what strike me the most is the realization that ones could believe all he has done was to be kind. Yet, failed miserably to see deeper and thorough that all he has done was nothing, but to fake their action in order to be loved. Loved because it is the only thing that you could've done, not for expecting others to do the same.
Perhaps the best analogy to portray it, is this one. "You see a snake stuck between a rock, and you try to help it, but deep inside you know that if you help it; it will eventually bite you. Yet why you still helped it?"
It is in their nature to help, and it is in my nature to help. Despite the pain, and the unequal feedback, we could, still, give love. The love that perhaps we didn't had in the first place, the love we longing from our parents, the love that lost when our partner cheat on us. Regardless, love, kindness, empathy, is like a cup. In order to fill it, you must empty it first. That's why such construct goes both ways; inwards and outwards.
Keep loving others, you're noticed
I felt the energy of kindness like you did with that cashier lady. In my middle school, there is a girl. Not any of those modern girls with diets, big buts, Tik Tok accounts etc. She is normal and still beautifull. I'm a big outsider, making friends is really dificult for me. Nobody was talking with me in my class, why would anybody want to be friend with such a boring person as me? But then she came to our school, we often met each other in hallway and she was the only person that greeted me. Out of nowhere, some girl greeted me. And she even smiled at me. Kindness. Then I realized that she goes to church, that she lives in house where my grandparents does. I realized that I know her, but I never realized how beautifull, good and happy she is. I fell in love with her. But how can such shy, boring and silent boy as me be interesting for her? What chance is that she trully likes me. God pointed on her in my life, she trully means something and I think that my love is real. But I'm so small (in spiritual way) in comparison with her. I can't do anything without God. I don't know if it's God's will. I want to follow God and I hope that she is The one God sended to my life. Now, the only thing I can do is pray. God is Love.
You're young. You should work on yourself to feel worthy but always remember that whoever you do end up with, you should think about their wellbeing as you do yours.
If you think you are shy and boring, figure out why and find ways to improve, but do it for you, not to impress someone. Kindness starts within. Kindness starts from a strong foundation.
Silence can be a virtue unless it's your shyness stopping you. You don't need to force yourself to converse.
The feeling you're experiencing is most likely what I call chemical love. It feels good but you should make sure to not let it lead you astray. There is a much better love when you realize what true love is. Compromise and sacrifice.
After all, Jesus dying on the cross was the ultimate compromise and sacrifice for us.
@@ZanderX10 Thank you for your advice mate. I think that I don't have God on firts place in my life now and I want to change it. Like you said, what is more love than sacrifice? I want to love God more and I hope He will lead me and others in His will.
Belief systems have served as guiding principles throughout human history, offering structure and moral frameworks. However, these systems shouldn't inhibit the exercise of rational thinking and independent thought. For individuals struggling with expressing emotions or managing mental health issues, professional help is not just beneficial, but often essential.
This is so GREAT BRO!!! You have such a gift!! I am so glad I stumbled on this video! And I’m even MORE glad that you are using it for the Lord! I am now subscribed!! ❤❤
Man, just 1 minute and I couldn't resist but say, the way you tell the story is amazing! Chills, literal chills!
the sound design is immaculate
I just found your channel and it’s absolutely grate! You are really doing an incredible job, please keep on going. I’ll prey for you from Spain. God bless you
Awesome. thank you friend. Peace and god bless you.
Yes another video, thank you
This video came at just the right time for me as I’ve been contemplating how genuine I am. Just as the title says, whether I’m being nice (for face) or truly kind. I think I need to boil it down to spreading God’s love and keeping that idea in my heart and head just as you said. I want to grow more in faith, so thanks for spreading this message of love ❤️

Wow. Thanks for sticking with me! I really appreciate it. Peace 🙏.
Kindness is contagious and should be spread daily. Sowing good fortune is priceless.🤙🏻
I choose to be both kind and nice, but at the same time, it's essential to remember that niceness is not complaisance, as the two are often easily confused. Kindness is more about actions than personality, it can be nice and it can also be not nice, and paradoxically enough it sometimes can come in the form of tough love, and I'm not always comfortable being frank and "ripping the band-aid off", so I might deliver bad news nicely or find compromises that don't breach my own boundaries. I care a lot about people, enjoy helping people, I do nice things without being asked and I like to spread positivity. There's a tendency to only voice opinions of dislike and of negativity, which skews perception, so I try to add positivity. At the same time, if I didn't enjoy something, I won't pretend that I did. And people know that I'll do favors to a point, but if they start asking for too much, crossing any boundaries, or making me uncomfortable I let them know. Here's four examples of a responses if a friend shows you a movie you dislike.
Blunt/frank (with rudeness):
"I hated it. That was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. How could you like such tripe? I thought you were smarter than that"
Kindness (without niceness)
"I hated it. If this movie makes you happy, I'm glad for you, but I never want to watch this again. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with liking it, I just don't get why people enjoy it"
Kindness (with niceness)
"It wasn't for me, but that's fine, I'm really happy for you that it brings you happiness. That's really what matters. We all have different tastes. Thank you for showing it to me, I appreciate that you wanted to share something with me that you really enjoy, even if it didn't resonate with me"
Complaisance (what most people think is "niceness")
"Uh, yeah. It was great. We, uh......should see it again sometime" (thinking 'please don't say tomorrow, please don't say tomorrow') "Oh, tomorrow? That's...awesome"
Of course, it's different for everyone. For some, being kind and compassionate but also blunt in mannerisms works, for me, being nice and kind but setting boundaries works. The blunt and rude as well as the overly agreeable responses are the ones where I think people with either would benefit from adopting one of the middle two styles.
I’m not Christian or religious but I’m still able to resonate with your videos
Not much for the religion part, but the message in itself is extremely worthwhile and important
Thank you, and have an awesome week my friend
Your videos have helped me a lot, I just moved into an apartment and going back to school but I just feel awful. I sometimes feel life is bland, boring and just awful, but you are helping me change my perspective on it, with God of course.
Amen. Thank for this comment. And yes, its all God. Peace friend!
@@imbeggar thank you for responding to my email this morning by the way!
The first part was good, but I kinda checked out when religion checked in.
I do agree tho.
Being kind is something you do when expecting nothing in return apart from, maybe, making the other person happy.
Being nice is something you do because you feel that you have to.
The heart of god thing was hillarious. :D
i thought being nice is cool and kind until i remembered in the end i dont really care, i just do it because i feel it is the best option
