The Importance of Kindness

Good Morning on this, first snow morning of 2010:)
I am just copying out of my morning time/journal today. Sharing with my friends, love from the middle of nowhere, or now here.

Kindness -is-so-important! Kindness is a way of being that is the out flow of love in residence. A kind act can cause a break through, from hard-heartedness, into freedom and love. A kindness done is evidence of a softening, sometimes kindness is the act that brings restoration to the person doing it! It is often a first sign of repentance.
If His love is in you, it will manifest as kindness, often!!! Kindness is the act of giving favour, deliberately. Kindness often a sacrifice, often done secretly, reaps great rewards in the secret place. He sees and He delights in this. His way - flowing so in harmonious oneness with us. Kindness flowing, like blood through our body. Kindness is a "natural" way, with God. He is naturally kind. Kindness is not conditional. It is given when ever the giver wants to. It is not a reward per se, for another's behaviour. It is done a) with no thought of a return from the one it's done to b) can be done, without the other deserving it at all c) can be done to strangers, to animals, and even to ourselves.
It is an attitude, that will always look to produce action. It will not sit idle, it will perform. It is deliberate. It is deliberate.

"...But the fruit of the (Holy) Spirit (the activity, work which His presence within accomplishes) is love, joy (gladness) peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), KINDNESS, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law..." Gal. 5:22,23

"...For the fruit (the effect, the product) of the Light, or the Spirit (consists) in every form of kindly goodness, uprightness of heart, and trueness of life..." Eph. 5:9

All my early life, especially as a Catholic, and even throughout my adult life, it is so much more emphasized to abstain from evil (which is good!!), but way too often, there is the action of rejection towards people, a critical judgemental, pointing finger. A "holier than though" competitive attitude, not overt, we are often oblivious to. We are never asked to shame others, to preach about their evil behaviour. We are asked, (and equipped) to live out of the Wellspring of His Spirit. We ought to be unable to deter the flow of goodness and kindness. This flow ought to soak, pour on, get very wet, everyone around us and all people where ever we go. This is like bringing a river everywhere. It would flood things, they would get wet, they would be affected.
This is the overt effect our lives should have on society. this is an inarguable, river, rising, flood. One gets soaked with it, and deals with it's aftermath:)
An aftermath of Kindness, of Life Springing from heaven flowing outward through a saint is a touch of goodness and mercy, a feast, in famine, for a lost soul. Evidence of a better Kingdom and a Great King. It is the very power of God, for which there is no defense. It is an indefensible weaponry arsenal. it is like giving cold water to your enemy, in the heat of battle. It is mercy in action, love in action. It is goodness in action.
Destroy evil with good, and start with Kindness. Evil won't be weakened by righteous adherence to rules of goodness. It will however, be destroyed by relentless kindness, relentless love, relentless mercy, relentless grace. The River of His Presence, reveals itself through these.
Be relentless in kindness and enjoy it, for it is pure joy I am telling you!
Being good in God's sight, doesn't equal behaving well, as in not doing wrong. Being good is being true to value. Goodness is a statement of grace. Goodness is the atmosphere of a heart, that reveals itself in kindness rather than adherence to rules.
A good person, with God's imputed goodness, the action of His life in them, will have it manifest as kindness, and in generosity.
A person made righteous by His Blood, will have it manifest by living sinless. Blood cleansing, makes sin-free, a life that was previously corrupt all the way. Righteousness is the evidence of His Blood "Bath". It is the righteousness of Christ. It is a flow, a powerful flow, that renews, retrains, restrains, constrains, and manifests as liberty from slavery to sin. One's sin's after their initial salvation, all falters, under this Blood and this Blood is always producing liberty. Pure, holy, perfect, amazing, liberty.
Kindness is not approval for wrong action. Wrong action, sin, is never agreed with. This is where righteousness is a standard of His Holy ways.
There is no law against kindness. So, enjoy, this liberty, and liberating of His life streaming through you, and fire kindness at will, anytime and anyplace. Remembering, there is no defense against it. It doesn't matter if the kindness is not understood, by the one to whom it is being extended, GOD TOTALLY ENJOYS IT, SEES IT, AND IS HIMSELF BLESSED BY IT!
