Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32
Kindness is more than just being “nice.” It is love in action—gentleness, mercy, and compassion flowing out of a heart that is shaped by the Spirit of God. Kindness looks beyond ourselves and seeks the good of others, even when it costs us something.
In a world that often celebrates harshness, competition, and self-promotion, kindness stands out as something holy. It is not weakness; it is strength under the control of God’s love. When we show kindness, we reflect the very character of Christ, who welcomed the outcast, fed the hungry, healed the sick, and forgave even those who nailed Him to the cross.
How We Can Show Kindness
- With our words: Speak gently, encourage instead of criticize, and remind others of their worth.
- With our actions: Lend a hand, meet practical needs, or simply take time to listen.
- With our attitude: Choose patience over irritation, forgiveness over resentment, and compassion over indifference.
- With our generosity: Share what God has given us—our time, our talents, and our resources—with those in need.
Every act of kindness, no matter how small, is a seed planted that God can use to grow hope and healing in someone else’s life.
Let us pray for the Spirit to fill us with kindness today, so that others may see Christ’s love through us.
