Kindness

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

1 Corinthians 13:4 "Love is kind." 

Kindness means you are pleasant to be around because your countenance is inviting and shows interest. It is as much an attitude as anything, and it is the ability to see beyond the immediate to the potential. Kindness means you go out of your way to love someone. People who are unlovable become prime candidates for your kindness.

Love is kind in its conversations. Harsh and abrasive speech is absent from kind conversation. Love produces words that are "kind and tenderhearted." (Ephesians 4:32) Love is able to extend kind words that cheer up heavy hearts. (Proverbs 16:24)

Love people through difficult situations. Kindness is king for followers of King Jesus as it kills sin and sadness, and it brings to life love, forgiveness, and hope. Allow Jesus’ loving kindness to flow through you. Kindness resides where love is applied, because love is kind.
