“but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distressed, in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in hunger, in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness...” from II Corinthians 6:1-10

Kindness = To be friendly, helpful, well-meaning, generous, benevolent or considerate, warm, cordial. The word comes from an Anglo-Saxon word and it refers to your inner nature. And attitude that resonates with who you are and pours out of the overflow of your heart. We know some are not kind by nature; some pretend to be kind to manipulate others (popularised through everyday marketing efforts); yet the Lord demonstrated kindness in all He did. He would have kindness BE part of who we are daily, because -- when sincere -- kindness attracts others to Him.

“’Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My load is light.’” Matthew 11:28-30

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
