Got fruit? 5

Are you a gentle person? Is it easy for you to show kindness to others? The fifth fruit of the spirit is kindness. To be kind to someone means that we are showing them love with a kind act. It is an act of kindness that is motivated by the Lord and His Holy Spirit. To be kind to someone unkind could be considered to be an act of obedience. Jesus said that we are to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, do good to those who hate us, and pray for those who spitefully use us and persecute us. This is Biblical kindness. Jesus Himself showed us His loving kindness by going to the cross for us. He was forsaken that we might be forgiven. He became sin that we might obtain salvation. If He could do this for us, then we definitely should be kind to others.
