So, I'm still doing my series on the Fruits of the Spirit for ECHO, and this week is Kindness.
Originally, I was thinking oh great, kindness, what a crazy inspirational topic... NOT
But as I was researching and going through Scripture, I realized that the Bible mentions God's kindness towards us when he sent his one and only son to die on the cross for our sins. Kindness seems like such a sweet, almost insignificant adjective, but as I kept reading, I realized that kindness actually means something more.
When I think of Jesus' ultimate sacrifice, I think of LOVE, forgiveness, grace, mercy.... not usually kindness-- it has always struck me as a word like "nice."
Truthfully, God conveyed his kindness through this sacrifice and by changing the world from broken and scarred into clean and redeemed. ...pretty amazing
Tonight I will be talking about God's kindness to us, kindness turns us away from sins, changing in order to portray God's kindness, and emulating God's kindness unto others.
Pray!
