Episode 6: Kindness

Kindness is a Fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5 22-23). In the Old Testament (I and II Samuel), Jonathan showed kindness in his relationship with David (Yes, the one that killed Goliath and ruled Iseral as a King for over 40 years). Jonathan and David were best friends. One day, Jonathan spoke to his father, King Saul, in regard to David’s life. Why you may ask? Well, King Saul was jealous of David, so he wanted him dead! However, kind-hearted Jonathan reminded Saul of how reliable David had been to him. And because of Jonathan’s kindness, David’s life was spared. Later on, David remembered the kindness shown to him by Jonathan and in turn, showed kindness to Jonathan’s son. Sometimes, it may be hard to show kindness. Nevertheless, you’re to be kind to everyone, even when you don’t feel like it. I challenge you to do a good deed for someone, today!

Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
