“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).
One desire we should have is to be kind. Whatever the relationship, a little kindness goes a long way. It is sad, when couples who claim to be so much in love are not always so kind. Being critical of each other out in public, makes people wonder if you truly love each other. If the love is genuine, kindness coupled with patience will strengthen the marriage. Apologies and a kiss goodnight help as well.
Showing kindness to others , in word and deed, demonstrates our love for God. Meekness is often mocked as weakness. That just isn’t true. Displaying the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) shows great strength of character.
Our world today tends to be filled with selfishness and unkindness. Showing kindness will set us apart from the world. As we show kindness to others, we are doing it as unto Christ (Matthew 25:40).
