How does kindness manifest in your life?

An act of true kindness is a gift from God, which is cultivated by the Holy Spirit. Kindness is often described as a divine moral attribute of excellence that requires nurturing and gentleness. It is woven with a natural affection of the heart. Showing kindness calls us to use our own resources to help another brother or sister in their darkest hour. The beautiful quality of kindness is parallel with godly quality. A quality of virtue that radiates from an outward expression from a touch of compassion that leads to an astonishing supernatural action.

In the writings of the apostle Paul, he tells us to "be kind to one another." As a Christian, our motive is that our heart should be expressive of self-sacrificing, tenderness of deeds, and actions that emanate from the mind of Christ on behalf of the less fortunate.

Recently, a full-time pastor shared a tremendous story of a random act of kindness. The pastor’s car broke down on the freeway and it could not even move or start. A mechanic checked the car and said “the engine head has cracked” and suggested that the best option is to buy another car. Now this left the pastor without any means of transportation. He certainly did not have any money to buy another vehicle.

 The pastor prayed a simple prayer of thanking God for all the years that he used his car for ministry work. Two hours later, the pastor’s phone rang and the person on the other line said, “Pastor, I wanted to sow a car into your ministry; I have the keys and all the necessary documents and they are yours to keep.”

 Kindness sows the seeds that can only bear good fruit. In the book of Isaiah 54:10 “For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you.” God Is Our Model of Kindness.
