KINDNESS

Ephesians 4:31-5:2 (ESV)

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

  

Take a moment to think about how you react when someone is unkind to you. And what about those time when you were unkind to someone? How did you feel after you committed those acts and thoughts of unkindness? Would you like to make some changes?

Let God through his Holy Spirit change you on the inside so that instead of reacting with unkindness you respond with kindness in a way that is tenderhearted and loving.

BELIEVE that God will change you

Remind yourself about God’s FORGIVENESS

Walk in LOVE like Christ

Now think about how you feel when someone does something kind to you? And think about how you feel when you do something kind to someone. This is life in God’s Kingdom. This life is available to all of you. Just let the Spirit lead you there. 

BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER
