Let "the Law of Kindness" Motivate You - LEARN TO EXPRESS GODLY KINDNESS TO OTHERS

 Some may be more inclined to use kind words and to smile because of their cultural background.  Such polite informalities motivated by custom or by a natural tendency are commendable.  But if we are motivated solely by such, it may not indicate kindness. - Compare ACTS  28:2.

True godly kindness is an aspecty of the fruitage of God's holy spirit. (Galatians 5:22, 23) So cultivating kindness involves working along with the spirit's influence.  That harmonizes with our desire to imitate Jehovah and Jesus.  And as Christians, we have an active interest in  others.  Hence, we are motivated by both love for Jehovah God and love for our fellow man.  Our kindness then becomes a powerful quality that comes from the heart and that God approves of.
