Kindness: A Word for Today
Ephesians 4:32
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
Explanation
Kindness is a fruit of the Spirit, not just a personality trait — it's a deliberate, Spirit-empowered choice to treat others gently, as God has treated us. Today's verse, Ephesians 4:32, puts it simply: "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you."

Lord, You have been endlessly kind to me. Let that kindness overflow through me to others today, especially when I don't feel like it.
