KINDNESS IS THE WAY OF GOD

 

KINDNESS IS THE WAY

OF GOD

BEING KIND is a virtue

And it is the WAY of God

And of Jesus Christ

It should also

BE the way of you and me

Because we are to be

IMITATORS OF CHRIST

“For steadfast is his kindness toward us........”                                                 Psalm 117:2

“The king asked,

'Is there 

No one still alive

From the house of Saul

To whom I can show

GOD'S KINDNESS?'”                                                                           2 Samuel 9:3

“Bur when the KINDNESS

And LOVE of God our Savior appeared

He SAVED US

NOT because of righteous things

We had done

But because 

Of his MERCY”                                                                            Titus 3:4-5

KINDNESS is the way 

Of God

It should be our way too

HOLD a door for a stranger

Take a sick neighbor to the Doctor's

SEND someone a get well card

Kindness is the way of God

It should be our way

It is indeed a virtue

And it is also

ONE of the FRUITS

Of the SPIRIT

So if we are LIVING 

In the SPIRIT

It should come NATURAL

To us

“But the FRUIT of the SPIRIT

Is love-joy-peace-forbearance-

KINDNESS-goodness-faithfulness-

Gentleness-and self-control

Against such things

There is no law”                                                                             Galatians 5:22-23

And Saint Vincent DePaul

Once said,

“The surest way to be a Saint

Is to be kind-be kind-

And BE KIND”

I don't know about that

But I do know

It is the WAY OF GOD

It is the way

Of the divine

The way of GOD'S DIVINE LOVE 

“For since the CREATION

Of the world

God's invisible qualities-

His eternal power and DIVINE nature-

Have been clearly seen

Being understood

From what has been made

So that people are

Without excuse”                                                                                 Romans 1:20

I thank God SO MUCH

For the LIFE he has given me

For the upteen times he has KEPT

Me alive and RESCUED me

I thank God for ALL the family-

And friends=God has put in my life

And all the little things (and big)

That they do for me

It is TRUE that

There is NO SUBSTITUTE

For kindness 

And that kindness is a virtue

Thank You Lord

FOR BEING SO KIND 

And I thank you and LOVE YOU

With my whole heart-my whole soul-

And whole mind

I will do my BEST-

To be KIND TO OTHERS

In Jesus' name=forever and even amen

(for KINDNESS is the way of God)
