SPIRITUAL NUGGETS Kindness As a result of more people being impatient, and everyone being in a constant hurry, many people have lost the ability to treat others with kindness and respect. A kind word, or a kind action or deed to another person can really do wonders for them as well as for yourself. The fruit of the spirit of kindness will go hand in hand with the fruit of the spirit of love. Once the Holy Spirit starts to implant his love into you, the fruit of kindness will follow right along with it. It will then become much easier for you to be able to be kind to others once the love of God starts to flow more into you and become part of your personality. Here are some of the different definitions of what real kindness is all about: Quality or State of being kind. The steadfast love that maintains relationships during times of need. Goodness of heart, serviceable, good, gracious, pleasant. Love of mankind, hospitality acts of kindness, readiness to help, human friendship, benevolence, taking thought of others. Goodness in action, sweetness of disposition, gentleness in dealing with others. The ablility to act for the welfare of those taxing and vexing you patience. Just to name a few. As you can see from some of these definitions this is a very beautiful fruit of the spirit in your soul and in your personality given to you by the Holy Spirit. Not only will you be able to touch the lives of others with this godly fruit of the spirit, but you will be able to touch yourself and your innermost being, because you will feel so much better about yourself if you can learn how to treat others with more kindness and make it a part of your daily life. God Bless You !!! |
