Kindness

Kindness

In the last posting I had noted that the next step is to work on “Kindness.”  Well then, let us take a look at how the dictionary defined “kindness.”  Kindness is the state, quality, or habit of being kind (Kind is: being sympathetic, friendly, gentle, tender-hearted, generous, etc.).  Being kindly means being gracious, benevolent, agreeable, pleasant, having a gracious manner.  By these definitions, I think you can see the power in that word to improve the quality of life for yourself and the people around you.

I believe that; based on that definition, you can remember people in your life who were that way.  They probably had an impact on your life and others around them.  Imagine how you could have an impact on the people around you.  And don’t you think that this would bring a smile to your lover – God’s face.  This state of kindness will bring others to your family with your lover – God and join you for an eternal love fest.  And that came about because you worked on being kind.

Besides, Kindness, being a positive thing, it also means avoiding the negative things that would reflect negatively on your relationship with your lover – God.  A few of these are as follows: Avoiding Lying, Stealing, Greed, Adultery, Cheating, Wild Living, Drunkenness, Arrogance, Dissension, selfish ambition, Anger, Jealousy, Discord, Hatred, Lust, etc.  That is no small list to avoid.  But you know what, If you have been working at the areas covered in the previous postings.  These mentioned in this posting should be almost gone, because they would have hurt your relationship with your lover.  Imagine the hurt on His face if you haven’t got rid of these areas.

And that is why He has and will give you the power to deal with these areas.  Not only do these areas hurt your relationship with your lover – God, but they also affect your relationship with others around you: impacting your quality of life. 

So over future postings we shall touch on these again.  All the good qualities we have learned in the past postings will have helped you conquer them.  But if you are still having major problems with these areas, go back and specifically work on “turning control of your life to God.”

The next area we will discuss is the area of gentleness.  I look forward to sharing with you this area.
