Kill them with kindness

Greetings:
Through the life of Jesus Christ, we see the greatest, most complete example of kindness we'll ever know. Jesus saw a whole lot of hurt, brokenness, and despair, but he kept on being kind, with no regard for the conditions.
When we think of kindness, what does that mean to us?
Is kindness a bag of fresh garden vegetables taken to a friend or even a complete stranger?
Is kindness an encouraging note sent by a friend?
Is kindness a caring shoulder to cry on?
Is kindness a bowl of chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven delivered to or from a friend?
Is kindness a telephone call just to say 'hello and how are you doing'?
Is kindness greeting someone on the street with a smile?
Is kindness offering one of those 'pay' shopping carts to a stranger for no other reason than you want to be kind?
Read Galatians 5:22-23 and see that kindness is there in the list of fruits that we should cultivate in our orchard of life.
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”
When we're kind, others get to experience that warmth, and whether they realize it or not they are also experiencing some of God's own character.
God knew what we needed before we even asked for it. That's kindness - the ability to recognize the needs of others and take steps to meet those needs.
Galatians 6:10 (New American Standard Bible readsds, "So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith."
Kindness is compassion towards others when we have nothing to gain.
Be kind today in some way, reach out, see and act on the needs of others above our own wants.
Be blessed.
