Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kindness goes a long way in many situations. Kindness doesn’t cost us anything to give out to others. And it spreads the love of God with very little effort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Strangely, kindness seems to have gone out of style in many places, including in the body of Christ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some people can be very “snappy” if someone does something that bothers them, even if it was done unintentionally. Lacking God’s grace and His discernment, they lash out at people in a split second.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This can hurt people. But, more importantly, it can push people away from God if the person being lashed out at knows that the other person is a believer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Yes, we all have bad days. And sometimes we can say something very quickly, without thinking beforehand. This is why it’s so important that we are slow to speak, quick to listen and slow to anger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

James 1:19 (NKJV) 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jesus told us that others would know that we are His disciples by our love for others, so it’s imperative that we exercise patience with others and show them the love and kindness that we have been told to show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

John 13:35 (NKJV) 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, let’s exercise patience and kindness with those we come into contact with. The kindness we show them may make the difference between a good day and a bad day for them in the short run.<\/p>\n

\n

And in the long run it just might mean the difference between drawing them toward<\/em> God or pushing them away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
