What is kindness? How is it demonstrated in the good news of Jesus?
What is kindness? How is it demonstrated in the good news of Jesus?
I desperately need more kindness and compassion in my life. I need to judge less and love more. That is the way of Jesus.
That is what Jesus calls us to do. We know we want others to be kind to us.We need to be kind and compassionate to others no matter what.
Kindness is the quality of compassion and generosity, characteristic of God’s dealings towards the weak and poor, and demanded of believers. The kindness is also shown in the words and deeds of Jesus the Messiah.

Scripture
Isaiah 49:13-16 Christian Standard Bible (CSB)
Shout for joy, you heavens!
Earth, rejoice!
Mountains break into joyful shouts!
For the Lord has comforted his people,
and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
Zion says, “The Lord has abandoned me;
the Lord has forgotten me!”
“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
or lack compassion for the child of her womb?
Even if these forget,
yet I will not forget you.
Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.

His Compassions Fail Not
Lamentations 3:22
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.
While reading 1 Kings this morning, I was faced yet again with the fact that whenever I think I have the Lord “figured out,” that what I’m thinking is what He’s thinking, He blows my mind… a fresh revelation of what Isaiah 55:9 proclaims:
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
