Greetings:
When you think of kindness, what does that mean to you?
Is kindness a bag full 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 bowl full of chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven delivered 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?
Kindness gives a person a warm fuzzy feeling, it just does.
No wonder it's one of the fruits of the Spirit.
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.
When the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
Kindness is understanding.
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.
