Kindness (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Kindness                                                                                 Day 59

  ⁴ God our Savior showed us how good and kind he is. ⁵ He saved us because of his mercy, and not because of any good things that we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

Titus 3:4-5

We have access to so many comforts by way of modernization or our citizenship that it is easy to feel entitled to certain comforts and luxuries. However, if we attempt to believe that we are entitled to salvation, then just when did we earn God’s grace and mercy? What act has anyone ever done that caused him or her to be entitled to eternal life? How did they earn the forgiveness of their sins and wrongdoings? What words have ever been spoken that entitled someone to the mercy of God?

Truly, there is no action that we can take or word we can ever speak that will prove that we deserve God’s mercy. Even though we could never earn mercy, Christ died for us as the ultimate act of kindness. If God never does anything else for us, His kindness (by way of His grace and mercy) truly is sufficient.

Let us show that we do not take grace for granted. We can show that we do appreciate His loving kindness toward us through our kindness to others. As Christ has been kind to us, let us express to the world that we, as God’s children, have this spirit of kindness.
