Be Kind To One Another

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”

The desire for a good life is what often drives people to be selfish and unkind. They want good things for themselves only. But as Christians we must be selfless, kind to one another, compassionate, giving, and forgiving. There are benefits of being kind. When you express kindness to someone, they are naturally inclined to be happy about it, and express their happiness through smiles, thanks, and praises. They are happy and you are happy and fulfilled. Being kind improves your health, relieving you of stress and anxiety. Through acts of kindness, people get to like, respect, and trust you, thus making it easier to reach them with the gospel. When we take the route of kindness, rather than anger, selfishness, or hate, we create room for forgiveness, repentance, and a Godly way to resolve relational problems. Acts of kindness inspire people to spread kindness, thus creating a peaceful and loving society.  Being kind is an act of faith. As someone said, “Kindness is all about putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and thinking about what you would have done if it were you, who was them.”  Let us stop hate. Be kind to people!
