Word of God clearly says in Ephesians 4:32
- and be kind to one another, tender hearted,
forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.
We all who are in prayers try
to kind to one another but with our human nature it is next to impossible. We
are kind with those who are kind and we are unkind to those who are unkind. If
we are kind to those who are kind to us then surely there is no reward for us
as the unbelievers also do the same.
Kindness is one the fruit of
the Holy Spirit which we cannot practice in our life before living the life of
Spirit. Without practicing we cannot get anything freely. We know that to grow
any fruit first we need to have the seed and plant it and water it till it
becomes plant and then water it till it becomes tree and then it will bear
fruit in the same way we have to practice kindness with those who are unkind
with us to display God’s power within us.
Our heart can be either
tender or arrogant , If our heart is tender then surely we can feel the pain of
others and if we are arrogant we will be ignoring the pain of others and walk
like blind when we can see.
Forgiving each other is the
most difficult thing to do because people who hurt us are more than the people
who comfort us. That is why we have to have positive mindset inside us so that
we may be able to forgive the same people again and again when they hurt us
through their word or deeds. Forgiving others cannot arise from our human
nature but surely it arises from God.
Most of us struggle being
kind or being tender hearted or with forgiveness only because our flesh is
strong and our Spirit is weak. Let us practice living the life of Spirit so
that our life in the Spirit will guide us to be kind to the unkind, tender
hearted towards those who are suffering and also to forgive each other.
