What Are The Fruits Of The Spirit?

Romans 11:22
Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God:
sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off

Let’s Explore Kindness

As a result of more people being impatient,

having short fuses and with everyone always being in a hurry.
Many people have lost the ability to treat others with kindness and respect.
A kind word, a kind action to another person can really do wonders for them.
When you study the life of Jesus in the New Testament, you can really tell how kind He always was with other people.
Jesus is without question, the ultimate role model for all of us of someone who was fully operating in all 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit.
The quality of kindness will go hand in hand with the quality of love.
Once the Holy Spirit starts to transmit His love up into you, the quality of kindness will follow right along with it.
It will become much easier for you to be able to be kind to others once the love of God starts to flow more into your personality.
But You cannot Love others until you learn to Love Yourself.
You can't help but be more kind to others if God's love is flowing through you.
This is why the quality of love has to be the main quality that you really concentrate on getting more of from the Holy Spirit.
Once the love of God starts to operate and flow through you to touch others,
many of the other fruits of the Holy Spirit will start to follow suit in domino fashion.

Here are some of the different definitions of what real kindness is all about:
• Quality or state of being kind
• The steadfast love that maintains relationships through gracious aid in times of need
• Goodness of heart, serviceable, good, gracious, pleasant
• Love for mankind, hospitality, acts of kindness, readiness to help,
• human friendship, benevolence, taking thought of others
• Goodness in action, sweetness of disposition, gentleness in dealing with others, affability
• The ability to act for the welfare of those taxing your patience

As you can see from some of these different definitions, this is a very beautiful quality to have.
Once transmitted up into your soul and personality by the Holy Spirit.
Not only will you be able to touch others with this godly quality, but you will also be able to touch yourself.
You will feel so much better about yourself,
if you can learn to treat others with much more kindness and respect in your daily dealings and affairs with them.

Of All The Things You Say And Do
By Connie Ciccone
For My Internet Daddy Darrell

Of all the things you say and do
I see the very heart of you
Your joy, your caring
Your love of sharing

Reaching out.....touching a life
Bringing freedom from one's strife
Showing someone that you care
When the burden seems
too hard to bear

In ways so gentle.....ways so kind
To others you bring peace of mind
Your prayers and thoughts
mean so much
Do you realize the lives you touch?

I see your soul.....your spirit too
Such a beautiful reflection
of God in you
I'm forever grateful He
chose to send
A blessing such as you, my friend.

And Because...
Of All The Things You Say And Do

Ephesians 2:7
in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,
expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
