Love Is Kind

"Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you."
Ephesians 4:32

Kindness is love in action.  If patience is how love reacts in order to minimize a negative circumstance, kindness is how love acts to maximize a positive circumstance.  Patience avoids a problem, kindness creates a blessing.  One is preventative, the other proactive.  These two sides of love are the cornerstones on which many of the other attributes we will discuss are built.  Love makes you kind and kindness makes you likeable.  When you're kind, people want to be around you.  They see you as being good to them and good for them.

Do you have room to grow in this area? Can you be more kind to others?
