Every day, Christ-followers have countless opportunities to be kind, to see a need in another person and then to choose to act. It's not only Christians who are kind—any manifestation of human kindness is truly a reflection of our Creator—but those of us who have the Holy Spirit have a distinct advantage when it comes to overcoming our selfish nature and over time becoming more kind. And the kinder we become, the more people will eventually be attracted to the source of our kindness, to the God who wants to stun them with kindness and mercy. Kindness is one of the most vivid displays of who God is we can offer the world.
