Fruits of the Spirit: Kindess

Wow...the angelic-sweet-perfect-articial word to describe the amazing girl: "kind". Is it just me or does that seem so...lame...so....fake...so...silly. Kind. "How kind of you to come!" "Oh that was TOO kind." "That was SO kind of you!" How many times do I get sick of saying that word when I don't mean it. "kind" slips off my tongue so many times, when the REAL emotion is not felt.

Ephesians 4:32 ~
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving eachother just as Christ forgave the church."

The word "kind" is used for SO many different meanings, but all have the same basic principle. It is the giving of self, selflessness, thoughtfulness of others, the "dieing of oneself daily." Kindess is truely a beautiful trait, longed for and sought after. But it all starts in our hearts...not with books, and tapes, and cds, and seminares. The change come from a will to not be self-centered. It is pleasing in the sight of the Lord.

It's All For Him,
