This word about kindness is reposted from March 22, 2025. I love this word from the Lord. So many times He has reminded me of it as I am interacting with people.

1:07: “Show Me what Kindness is, and I will show you the Lord.

“My People overlook Kindness. It does not lead the list of My Fruit of the Spirit, as Love does. Nor does it fill a place often hard to achieve, as does Patience. All of My People seek Joy. But what is Kindness?

“Kindness is serving at its best.

“Kindness comes from Paying Attention to what is important to others. Therefore it requires a looking outward, a focus on others rather than on oneself. Kindness takes the time to speak a compliment when none is expected. Kindness picks up and returns a part to a toy that a child you do not know has unknowingly dropped. Kindness listens attentively even when the conversation seems unimportant to you. Kindness seeks out what would give someone an unexpected pleasure – and gives it. Kindness helps another work when one’s own rest would be preferred. Kindness always goes the extra mile. Fills in gaps. Seeks to delight. Meets a need. Kindness is unassuming. Rolls off easily and without second thought, for it is embedded in one’s nature.

“Ask Me for Kindness – and I will build it within you. Pay attention to My acts of Kindness toward YOU – and thank Me for them.

“BE KIND as I AM KIND. Amen.”
