Write Upon My Heart: Kindness Character Book

$13.60

If I refuse to bend for the needs of others,
If I simply pass by on my own way;
If I choose not to see the needs of the less fortunate,
I know nothing yet of kindness.

This world would certainly be a dreary place without the kindness of God and kindness of others. The kindness of God toward mankind is shown in countless ways. We have only to look at His handiwork in creation. He has provided for our every need: fresh air to breathe, water to sustain us, food to satisfy our hunger, sunshine to keep us warm, and so much more.

The greatest kindness of God was in allowing Jesus to become the Lamb, to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Mankind received the gift of redemption through the blood that Jesus shed in His kindness toward us. Without this sacrifice we could not go to heaven. We could never have the opportunity to live with Jesus forever.

By now you might have noticed that God has showed His kindness toward man by a great many acts. You see that kindness is not thinking nice thoughts about a person. It is doing nice things for a person. Kindness takes thought, but it does not become kindness until action follows that thought. We are not kind when we feel kindly. We must be kind. Let’s pray that as we have a wonderfully kind God and a kind Saviour, we will, in their likeness, learn to be kind also.
