JEHOVAH GOD'S Word exhorts us to love "loving-kindness." (Micah 6:8, footnote) It also gives us reasons why we should do so. For one thing, "a man of loving-kindness is dealing rewardingly with his own soul." (Proverbs 11:17) How true! Showing loving-kindness, or loyal love, forges warm and lasting bonds with others. As a result, we will have loyal friends-a precious reward indeed! -Proverbs 18:24.
Moreover, the Scriptures tell us: "He that is pursuing righteousness and loving-kindness will find life." (Proverbs 21:21) Our pursuing loving-kindness will endear to God and will put us in line for future blessings, including life everlasting. But how can we show loving-kindness? To whom should we extend it? And does loving-kindness differ from normal human kindness or from kindness in general?
