When Kindness Really Matters
In times of tragedy, or even just ordinary trouble, we realize how vital kindness is to
the human family. When people suffer serious loss or misfortune, their families and
friends instinctively rally around them to offer their support. Likewise, when com
munities, or even nations, suffer from natural disasters or other serious misfor
tunes, the rest of the nation or the community of nations rallies around them to
offer help and support. Or at least, this is the ideal that we should all hope and
strive for. The need for putting human compassion into action is never more
evident than when people are suffering. And unfortunately, the world is rife
with suffering, if only we have the eyes to see it, and the hands to reach out
and help. So, we should be attuned to the needs and suffering of our families, and
realize that our family actually extends well beyond our immediate nuclear family
to include all of humanity.
And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins. ”
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. New K.J. V. 1 Peter 4:8-9
