Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.KINDNESS.
What is kindness? According to the dictionary kindness means, the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.
So what does that mean for us? Well...kindness is probably one of the hardest things for us to do. At least for me any ways. Sometimes it just seems easier to just walk away and never talk to the person again. But that's not the right thing to do.
God wants us to be kind to everyone. Going back to my fist blog post, Happy Endings, I talked about loving your neighbor. That is the kindness that God wants us to have. He wants us to love and be nice to everybody, no matter what.
Sometimes I think that we think that we don't have to be nice to someone because they're not nice to us, or they aren't Christians and sin too much. And that's not true at all. We all sin, yes ALL of us. We all have those days when you just don't want to talk to anybody. But we don't want those things to get in the way of being kind to others.
So I want to challenge us all this week to pick ONE person you have problems being nice too. And talk to them, nicely. Be kind to them, do stuff for them.We are called to be servants of God. So be a light to that person this week and show them God's love.
Till next time
