But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirits. Titus 3:4-5
The Kindness of God. God’s greatest expression of love and kindness towards humanity is rooted in His eternal plan of redemption. Jesus died on a cross to pay the price for our sins, to bring us restoration and eternal life. When we put our faith in His finished work, we can be assured that our salvation is secure. We have been rescued because of God’s kindness and saved by His extravagant love displayed on the cross, not because of anything we have done but because of everything He did. In Romans 2, the apostle Paul makes it clear that no one is excluded from God’s judgment, including the religious Jews of the day who considered themselves morally superior to the Gentiles and had become complacent in their own sin. He notes that God’s “kindness is meant to lead us to repentance” (Romans 2:4). It is God’s kindness and goodness that draw us to turn away from sin and turn towards a new life in Him. His kindness changes us.
God the Father is God our Saviour. He is the fountain from which the Holy Spirit flows, to teach, regenerate, and save his fallen creatures; and this blessing comes to mankind through Christ. The spring and rise of it, is the kindness and love of God to man. Love and grace have, through the Spirit, great power to change and turn the heart to God.

Kindness isn’t always easy, especially when the circumstances are difficult, but through the power of the Holy Spirit working in us, we can always reflect the character of God to the world around us. Paul tells us that the fruit of the Holy Spirit’s sanctifying work in us includes kindness (Galatians 5:22-23). As we yield increasingly to the prompting and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we too can show the kindness of God to others. In a world marked by difficulty and challenge, we can be beacons of light, spreading God’s kindness and pointing to hope in Him.
“Kindness has a reward, and the reward is from God,

Reflection: How can you ask the Holy Spirit to help you to continue to develop the fruit of the Spirit, including kindness? Action: Show kindness to a stranger today.

Prayer: Lord, I pray that You develop in me Your fruit of kindness. May I reflect Your love, tenderness, and kindness to those around me. Even when the situation is challenging, please help me to lean into Your strength and show kindness that reflects Your character.
May the Lord bless you and give you health. May God fulfill your hearts’ desire and give you peace.”Amen.
