A Fruitful LifeSample

The fruit of kindness is the Christ-like characteristic of behaving toward others as God has behaved towards them.

It’s the idea of doing thoughtful deeds to others, not out of your own personal benefit, but for theirs.

Kindness is selfless, compassionate, and merciful; its greatest power revealed in practice to our enemies and amongst the least of these. Love your neighbor, show kindness to EVERYONE. For a perfect emblem of Biblical kindness, we need to look no further than Jesus.

Have you ever considered how every day is a blessing?

God gives us a chance each day to live for Him and choose to dedicate that day to Him. A new day may not seem like much, but considering we can’t count that tomorrow will happen, when we arise every day, we should see it as God’s loving kindness and a blessing.

He has given us as believers a new covenant. Not only does He promise us eternal and new life in Him, but He also promises to return. And, if we know God, we know that He doesn’t go back on His word!

In our own personal lives, we can know that God has a plan for us and can see it unfold on a daily basis. Even when we can’t see Him working, He is working.

His kindness never fails.

The biggest fear of most people getting into a relationship is that one day they’ll wake up and say, “I don’t love you anymore.”

Amazingly, God’s lovingkindness does not work that way. Lovingkindness means a steadfast mercy, grace, and kindness. That means that on a day-to-day basis, we don’t have to fear that His love for us will disappear or wither. Because He loves without ceasing.

This may seem like a given for those of us who have been in the church for a long time and have heard that God loves us every Sunday.

But we cannot discount the magnitude of the everlasting, unstoppable love of God.

When we fully grasp that a God who is holy and perfect wants to come into communion with us and wants to exercise mercy and kindness to us, even though we have not earned it, this changes our hearts.

We cannot help but want to extend the same lovingkindness to others once we’ve experienced it ourselves.
