Our Kindness Reflects Our True Servant Nature 2 Timothy 2:24: And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.

Our Kindness is Unconditional and Unselfish 1 Corinthians 4:13 -- …when we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.

Our Kindness Brings Honor and Glory to God Proverbs 14:31 –He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.
