Human kindness is a dim reflection of God’s kindness. In a lengthy discourse on our sin and God’s wrath, Paul wrote, “Do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness … not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?”
Someone remembered a sermon in which I had said, “Perhaps the most important thing to look for in a potential spouse is kindness.”
God, our Father, is kind beyond measure. Why? “In order that … he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”
Jesus, thank you for holding the umbrella of your grace over us. Thank you for your everlasting kindness and faithfulness. In your name we hope. Amen.
