Are we kind to each other?

As we walk in the love of God, we are admonished to be kind.  Do we allow this spiritual force of the Holy Spirit to flow through us?  If we are kind to our neighbor, then we try to be useful to them.  We try to be of help to them.  In kindness, we approach things with a mild and pleasant style.  Compassion is also associated with kindness.  In other words, we can empathize with the plight of others and we actually extend effort to try to relieve the person from the difficult situation that they find themselves in.  Forgiveness is also associated with kindness.  Perhaps someone is in pain because of what they did to you.  Kindness causes us to reach out to that person in forgiveness.  As we receive this kindness from our Heavenly Father, we allow this kindness to flow through us.  (Ephesians 4:32)
