Andy Stanley said, “Kindness is loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness.” When I read this quote, I can’t help but think of Jesus and His kindness toward me. As an overflow of gratitude to Him, my heart longs to grant others this same “loaning of strength” whenever I am able, without holding their lack or weakness to the fire. What an honor to reflect God’s own compassionate character to those around me. Galatians 5:22-25, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”
