Tim Tebow Shares How a Simple Act of Kindness Can Change Lives
Tim Tebow told his fans that just showing up for someone can make a huge difference. He did this while talking about how to show people how valuable they are.
"A huge number of people feel like they are not seen or cared about." But being kind for one moment can help them see how valuable they really are," Tebow wrote on Instagram. "Sometimes, all it takes is one moment to tell someone that they matter." You don't need to know everything or fix everything. There is a big difference in just being there for them.

Tiago has long said that Christians should treat everyone with respect and honour, even if they are having a bad day. To help himself get a better view of things when he got bad news, Tebow learnt how to do this by committing himself to service.
As Tebow put it, "I promised one of my friends that if something bad happened to me, I wouldn't do anything until I served." "I would be kicked off a team; something bad would happen; there would be whatever." We would get together and go serve, no matter where I am. “No one needs to see or know, but we would kindly assist.”
Not only did this change his whole heart, but it also helped him trust God more and see that He works everything out for the best. For example, when he was cut from the Jacksonville Jaguars, he realised that he could now serve his cause in the Middle East, which he would not have been able to do as an NFL player.
All of this started to happen in Afghanistan after that, and we have a lot of teams that work in the Middle East and those places. Right away, our teams call to say, "Hey, this is a mess." I got on a plane to the Middle East and landed in a Middle Eastern country right next to an evacuee camp. As soon as we walked in, many people around us were fighting for their lives. "Kind of puts things in perspective," Tebow said.
“We finished serving at this evacuee refugee camp, and we get on a plane, we fly to another location in the Middle East, and it was on that flight that was really the first time since I had gotten cut that I actually could say, ‘God, thank you for letting me get cut. If I wouldn’t have gotten cut, I wouldn’t have had the freedom to have been over there, to serve in those locations, to do what I believe is my biggest calling in life, to serve the most vulnerable,’” he continued.
Thus, not only did his lifetime of serving others help those in need, but it also helped Tebow move on from the devastation of leaving professional football and live into his calling to help the most vulnerable people in the world — something he dedicates his life to.
