Kindness-A Quality Expressed in Word and Action

HOW reassuring and comforting an act of kindness can be!  When we realized that someone cares for us, we are grateful.  Since each of us appreciate being treated with kindness, how can we develop this beautiful quality? 

Kindness involves taking a genuine interest in the welfare of others-an  interest that is expressed through helpful words and deeds.  An active quality , kindness is more  than a veneer of politeness and courtesy.  True kindness is motivated   by deep love and empathy.  More than that, such kindness is part of the fruitage of God's holy spirit that Christians are told to cultivate. (Galatians 5:22, 23.)  We must develop kindness, so let us examine how Jehovah and his Son have shown this quality and how we can follow their example.
