I ran across this quote just this morning. Have you ever really sat and thought about that. What is kindness? The dictionary tells us that it is the "quality of being generous, and considerate."
When I think of kindness, I think of being nice to others. I think of being courteous to others; respecting them, respecting their feelings. I think of being polite. A simple "thank you", or holding the door open for someone. Or how about encouraging someone, congratulating them for their accomplishments? This is what I think kindness is.
In Ephesians 4:32, Jesus' apostle, Paul, tells us "And be ye kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you". He also associates kindess with love in I Corinithians 13:4 when he says, "Love is patient, love is kind..."
Jesus proves to us every day that He is kind. He loves us unconditionally. No matter what we do, or how we mess up, He forgives us. He still loves us.
Are you being kind to others today?
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
John 13:34
