I AM KIND - Ephesians 4:32
"Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you."
DEVOTIONAL
Kindness is not just a trait; it is a reflection of God's character. Throughout Scripture, we see that God is abundantly kind to us, showing mercy, grace, and love in ways we don’t deserve. As His children, we are called to mirror this kindness in all our interactions with others.
Ephesians 4:32 encourages us to be kind and tenderhearted, forgiving one another just as Christ forgave us. This kind of kindness goes beyond just being polite or doing nice things for others. It’s about showing deep compassion, empathy, and a willingness to forgive, even when it’s difficult. When we act with kindness, we reflect God’s heart for us—a heart that is full of grace and mercy.
Being kind does not always come naturally, especially when we are hurt, disappointed, or misunderstood. But the kindness that God calls us to is not based on how others treat us—it is rooted in the love He has shown us. It’s an intentional choice to offer compassion and understanding, even when we don't feel like it.
When we choose kindness, we create an atmosphere of love and acceptance that can transform relationships and bring healing. Kindness is a powerful force, and it reflects God’s work in us.
As we continue to grow in Christ, let us allow His kindness to flow through us, touching the lives of those around us.
