The Fruit of the Spirit--KINDNESS

Listen Later

Wayne and Kimberly Jo’s Daily Devotion 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law (‭‭Gal ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭23‬). 


▶️ Being kind is not optional 

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you (Eph 4:32). 


▶️ Being kind is the appropriate, biblical response

“Love is patient and kind” (I Cor 13:4).

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love (Psalm 103:8). 


▶️ Being kind should also be proactive 


    🔹 Kind in the way we speak

“speak the truth in love” (Eph 4:15) 


    🔹 Kind in the way we live 


Applying this truth of Scripture 

  • Pray the “fruit of the Spirit.”

    • Pause and process (don’t let emotions rule)

      • Consider where they are:

        • Spiritually (they might not know the Lord)

        • Personally (they may be operating from a heart of pain). 

          • Colossians 3:12

          Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.
