Kindness


"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control." Gal 5:22-23 (NIV)

That verse jumps out at me today. 

When did I last just do something kind for someone else?

Kindness is listed as a fruit of the Spirit, meaning we should be kind simply because we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.  That means we have the ability to be kind, and to show that kindness to others.

I often get frustrated when I see how the world behaves.  That easily happens, however, our kindness can help others find salvation.  Our kind acts can help others see Jesus in us.

Let's pray today and ask the Holy Spirit to show us some little acts of kindness we can do in the lives of those around us.

Who knows what can happen?

 "God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?" Romans 2:3 (NIV)
