Is there ever a time when kindness isn’t good?
Should you always be kind?
Yes! As a child of God, kindness isn’t just something you do—it’s who you are.
Think of it like this: Should a delicious apple be sweet only to nice people and turn sour for the mean ones? Of course not. If it’s truly delicious, it’s always delicious.
So it is with you. If kindness is your character, it flows through you consistently—even in tough situations.
That doesn’t mean being passive. You can be firm, set boundaries, and hold others accountable—all with kindness. It takes some practice, but with God’s help, we grow in it daily.
Scripture:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.”
—1 Corinthians 13:4 (NIV)
Reflection Question:
In what area of your marriage or relationships is God inviting you to respond with more kindness—even when it’s difficult?
Let’s keep practicing that kind of love together.
Blessings,
