Throughout the scriptures, we, as children of God, are encouraged unto living the walk of love. The Christian life is essentially one of love; for it is written "for we know that we have crossed from death to life because we love the brethren". This same scriptures admonishes us unto good deeds: to be hospitable, generous, thoughtful and considerate. We are taught to be kind.

Loving kindness is one of the more obvious ways for one to know if another loves him or not. Your care, attention, generosity, and eagerness to help and do good to others let's them know of the loving thoughts you have for them. But more importantly, much more than anything, it makes you more and more like Christ. It finally let's others see God with their naked eyes because they've seen you. After all, you're your Father's son or daughter. Christ said "if you've seen me, you've seen the Father". He wasn't talking of how He looked. He was referring to who He was on the inside.
Kindness is a holy virtue that draws out the godliness in you. Good deeds done with a heart of gladness is pleasing to the Lord. The intention of the heart is that one element that separates the hypocrite from a truly kind person. It fills God with joy to help us, to bless us and do good to us. A heart filled with joy in the act of kindness makes one truly kind and more like our Father in heaven. Let us love one another like God loves us. Let us therefore live a life filled with love. And love is kind.
Let's walk in love and live the walk of love
God bless you and stay in peace
Yes, kindness is so important - if we all tried to do a little act of kindness every day, we would be spreading God's blessings and the world would surely change for the better.

Love is what triggered all the miracles in Christ's time. He was always "moved with compassion". Today it is our obligation to show kindness with a heart of love. With love, we conquer all. Thanks for sharing @christianosei
