Those who withhold kindness from a friend forsake the fear of the Almighty.
God calls us to show kindness. "As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with
compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience," Colossians 3:12. Our kindness should
be a mirror of the kindness that God has shown to us through Jesus Christ.
Ron Newhouse
(Job 6:14
NRSV)
When Henry James, the great American novelist, was saying good-by to his young nephew, Billy,
son of his brother William, he said something the boy never forgot. It was simply this: "Willie,
there are three things that are important in human life. The first is to be kind. The second is to be
kind. The third is to be kind."
Lord Jesus, thank you for the kindness you showed to me by dying on the cross for my sins. May
I share freely that kindness. Amen.
