Kindness and a firm confidence in God's Word

Kindness is a noble deed aimed at helping others. Kindness has existed in people since they appeared on earth, as an attribute endowed with God. What the Bible says about kindness, let's find out through the article below.

Throughout the Gospel, Jesus emphasizes compassion in human interactions. He answered, "Do whatever you want people to do to the first" (Matthew 7 : 12). He also taught us that giving without regard for the consequences makes us happy. "He will give back to you when you give, and as much as you take, you will receive in return," the Lord says to those who have a heart of tolerance and compassion for others. (Matthew 6: 38) The Good Samaritan is a fictional character. Jesus commends this man's kindness, sympathizing with and assisting anonymous victims, as well as caring for them.

The goodness of God is central to biblical teaching. God is good. His kindness is expressed by many different names: holy, benevolent, benevolent, patient, tolerant, and forgiving. His kindness is a model for man, a goal for which man must strive: “Be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48). You should improve yourself, first try to eliminate your shortcomings yourself, then show kindness through kind gestures to those around you. Charity is the most important commandment of believers, so much so that by practicing charity they fulfill the Law (Romans 13:10). In exercising kindness toward others, believers believe they are reflecting God's mercy, for God is "slow to anger and abounding in love" (Psalm 102:8).

"Kindness is a language that can be understood by both the deaf and the blind" (Mark Twain, American writer 1835-1019). Rather than relying on "flying words," true kindness comes from the heart and is easily felt by others. Kindness blooms like a flower, makes no noise, doesn't pretend to be grateful, and has a kind heart.

Whoever gives kindness will be reciprocated. Rainer Maria Rike, an Austrian poet (1875-1926), wrote: “Miracles happen to those who truly love: the more they give, the more they have.” Saint Francis of Assisi affirms to us: “It is in giving that we receive; It is when we forget ourselves that we find ourselves.” Surely all of us have experienced this miracle more than once in our lives: when we give, we receive. There is a saying: "Kindness is like a fire, the more you give it, the more it spreads and grows". You and I, today, let's try to do a good deed, however small and simple, to the people we meet. Kind and friendly words to encourage those who are sad and pessimistic, or to help those who are mentally or physically lonely, are essential to human relationships. Maybe that help is needed in relation to fellow human beings. That helping may not do anything big or have world-changing ambitions, but one thing is for sure, you and I can both experience the joy of participating in an act of kindness of God in our lives live.
