<\/a>Kindness matters to God. In fact, it’s listed in Galatians 5:22-23 along with the other fruits of the Spirit. However, showing goodwill in our everyday lives can be a bit of a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long day at work, dirty clothes piled up high, and frustrating social media debates, we\u2019re often left feeling depleted. Bible verses about kindness point us back toward lasting truths that refresh our hearts and give us a renewed perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are several examples of loving kindness from the Bible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treat people with kindness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kindness is one of the most mentioned spiritual attributes in the Bible. The Hebrew word translated as \u201ckindness\u201d is \u05d7\u05b6\u05e1\u05b6\u05d3 (chesed). It\u2019s mentioned over 250 times in the Old Testament, and it\u2019s so important that it\u2019s frequently used as a major attribute of God the Father. In the book of Joel, God is described as being \u201cslow to anger, and great in loving-kindness\u201d [Joel 2:13]. God\u2019s heart towards us is that we would be so full of His kindness and love<\/a> that we would be kind to those around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bible verses about kindness display this unconditional care. In Luke 6:27-28 [NLT], Jesus gives His Sermon on the Mount, saying, \u201cBut to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a hard concept to demonstrate even when everything is going well, but it\u2019s especially difficult when we\u2019re hurting. As Jesus has shown us throughout His own life, we\u2019re to display kindness to the people God loves\u2014and that\u2019s everyone. He was hurt, beaten, and rejected by mankind. He felt the sting of broken relationships, yet He still restored<\/a> those around Him to wholeness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, He sympathizes with our pain and understands that showing compassion is hard. He isn\u2019t afraid of our brokenness. He knows that we might be holding onto bitterness, anger, and fear. Yet He knows that acts of kindness changes hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Christians, we\u2019re called to have a spirit of selflessness. Responding with kind words and actions might not always be our first response, but with God\u2019s help, we can shift our mindset. He gives us grace so that Christian kindness can be extended to anyone we meet, including those who make our lives hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose kindness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Mark 6:30-34 [ESV], Jesus and His disciples had been working hard to share the Gospel with the people around them. They\u2019d been working so hard they didn\u2019t even have time to eat. So Jesus said to them, \u201cCome away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, \u201cmany saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. When [Jesus] went ashore, He saw a great crowd, and He had compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus and the disciples were very tired. They were running on empty after pouring out their lives to others. Yet, when people who needed kindness and compassion showed up, Jesus didn\u2019t turn away. Instead, He acted compassionately and helped them. Obviously, we\u2019re not Jesus, so there are times when we\u2019re at the end of our rope and we simply cannot go on. God understands that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are other times when we just don\u2019t want to help. Choosing kindness isn\u2019t always on our to-do list. We might not have any reason other than the inconvenient disruption it might cause, or the extra effort we\u2019d have to make. In those times, following Jesus\u2019 example meant helping those in need. He will give us the strength to push forward in peace<\/a> and give graciously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Our call to kindness is meant for a greater purpose: showing the kindness of God leads to repentance.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Kindness matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kindness in the Bible gives us a new role. Romans 2:4 [NIV] says, \u201cDon\u2019t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can\u2019t you see that His kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showing graciousness is meant for a greater purpose, and it\u2019s the same reason listed here. Our kindness is to be a beacon to the world around us and to show them Christ. Even when we struggle to be kind, God is faithful to give us grace in our weaknesses and guide us towards continued responses of compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayers Unceasing: choose compassion as a CHM member<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 1 Corinthians 12:26 [ESV], Paul reminds Christians that \u201cIf one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.\u201d This is also kindness, sharing each other\u2019s struggles and joys, and it\u2019s one way that CHM members show compassion to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each month, members send CHM prayer requests. With their permission, we include them on the Prayers Unceasing cards which CHM members receive in their Monthly Contribution Form every month. With this card, you can encourage your brothers and sisters in Christ by lifting them in prayer and sending them cards, letters, or emails of encouragement. It\u2019s the perfect opportunity to put compassion into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like our muscles, when we exercise the fruit of kindness, it starts to become a regular habit. Treating people with kindness and empathy isn\u2019t always easy, but with God\u2019s help, we can be one small part of a Christian kindness revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
