Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Kindness.
Kindness is something that should be a part of our lives every day.
The fruit of the Spirit of God working in our lives should produce kindness even when situations might cause our emotions to feel like being less than kind.
Kindness will keep us from lashing out at someone when they just might deserve it. The grace and mercy of God working in us will cause us to exhibit and offer kindness to them when our flesh would cause us to verbally berate them.
Kindness will cause us to give away something that we might not want to let go of.
Kindness will keep us awake later than we prefer, to do something for someone who is in need at that moment.
Kindness will encourage someone when they are down, giving them hope and an uplifted spirit when their circumstances might be less than ideal.
And kindness might just keep someone from going off the deep end when they are down to their last straw while dealing with a tough situation. It might even save their life.
We never know how our kindness might impact someone we interact with at any moment in time.
So, let us be sure to sow the same type of kindness we would want to receive if we needed it.
By doing so, we just might change a life for which we can give God the glory.
