Scripture to Live By:
What is kindness? According to Wikipedia, Kindness is the act or the state of being kind, being marked by good and charitable behavior, pleasant disposition, and concern for others. It is known as a virtue and recognized as a value in many cultures and religions. Research has shown that acts of kindness does not only benefit receivers of the kind act, but also the giver, as a result of the release of neurotransmitters responsible for feelings of contentment and relaxation when such acts are committed.
A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts
himself. Proverbs 11:17
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. Proverbs 31:26
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Luke 6:35
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:10
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved,
compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, Colossians 3:12
These are just a few places in the Scriptures that speak of kindness, there are many more. God is pretty specific that we need to show kindness to one another, especially to those who are of the household of faith, but not limited to them. We are to demonstrate kindness with all people. As Christians, we should be especially kind to little ones, whom God has placed in our care. We need to be good ambassadors for Christ and represent Him well. May God teach us to be kind and may we strive to honor and please God by the way we communicate kindness to one another.
