“What is desired in a man is kindness,
And a poor man is better than a liar.”  Proverbs 19:22

Kindness is one of the characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit is 
Galatians 5:22-23,
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self control.  Against such there is no law.”

Let’s see what scripture tells us of kindness.

Romans 12:10 tells us,
“Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another.”

1 Corinthians 13 verses 4-8a give the description of love (agape love) and there we see in that list ‘Love suffers long and is kind’…”

In Ephesians 4:32 Paul tells us,
“And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.”

Concerning the new man, Colossian 3:12-13 tells us,
“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, bearing with one another, and forgiving one another…”

I close with 2 Peter 1-5-7, but I encourage, if you have a Thompson Chain Reference Bible, to do a greater search and be blessed.

2 Peter 1:5-7,
“But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue, knowledge, 
to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 
to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.”

Thank you Most Holy Lord God for the Scriptures for they speak to each of us, guiding moment by moment, and we give you honor, glory and praise as we seek your manifest wisdom to us in the Holy Spirit .            Amen
