Ephesians 4:32
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

Kindness is often dismissed as softness, but Scripture presents it as strength shaped by grace. Paul commands kindness—it is not optional or situational. Revival restores kindness not as a personality preference, but as a spiritual discipline practiced intentionally.

Biblical kindness is rooted in tenderness of heart. It flows from compassion, not convenience. A tender heart remains sensitive even after disappointment, even after conflict, even after being wronged. Revival replaces callousness with care.

Paul anchors kindness in forgiveness. “Even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Our kindness toward others is always a response to grace already received. When we lose sight of God’s mercy toward us, kindness toward others fades quickly.

Kindness shapes everyday interactions—tone of voice, choice of words, patience in frustration. It shows up in ordinary moments long before it appears in dramatic ones. Revival sanctifies the mundane, teaching us that small acts of kindness carry great spiritual weight.

A kind church is a powerful witness. In a harsh world, gentleness stands out. Kindness opens doors truth alone sometimes cannot. It disarms hostility and creates space for healing.

Kindness does not mean weakness or compromise. It speaks truth without cruelty and correction without contempt. Revival produces believers who are both firm and gentle.

Today, ask God to make kindness intentional in your life. Choose it on purpose. Practice it consistently. Kindness, when rooted in grace, becomes one of the strongest forces in Christian community.
