Love...Is Kind

So i figured that I shouldn't delay any more so i will continue on my love series. Hold on to your hats, because here it goes.

Love is kind. There is a seeming synonym to kind, and that is nice. Nice doesn't really mean anything. You use it to talk about something that is not inherently bad but you don't have any great praise for it. It may even be used to describe someone, like that boy/girl is nice, but it is one of those overused words that should be avoided. Love is not nice, it is kind. Being kind means that there is a goodness about you that makes you stand out to others around you. Kindness describes those that go out of their way to do something for others more than themselves. Being kind is genuinely caring and is part of your character. Kindness is pretty much essential if we as Christians are to love other people. It is not an option and should penetrate in to every area of our lives.

Think about the last time that you gossiped, or allowed yourself to be annoyed by someone, or complained about something or someone like the world owed you something. Is kindness penetrating THAT area of your life? Have you allowed the Holy Spirit to envelop you and guide your actions? Or are you content to being kind to others when it benefits you the most? I encourage each of you to look inside yourselves, as I will also do, and let the Holy Spirit do a work in you that kindness may indeed penetrate every area of your life. In so doing, you will be one step closer to exhibiting true Godly love in your life.

Sincerely yours,

Greg
