Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Last night in our study of the fruit of the Spirit, we discussed kindness. I had an ah-ha moment when I realized kindness is active. Being a sweet, gentle person does not mean you are being kind. If we live in our bubble and keep our focus internalized, even if we are not hurting anyone, we are not being kind. Kindness requires us to get outside of our bubble and go above and beyond. It requires us to act on opportunities to serve others in small and large ways.
Lord, thank you for your kindness to us. Please help us to share that kindness with others in tangible ways. Amen.
