“And Naomi said unto her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.” - Ruth 2v20
Kindness is a wonderful godly trait. It is not one that we consider often as being godly, but the word of God is replete with references to kindness. Boaz was indeed a man of God, he manifests that in many ways. He told his reapers to leave extra grain in the fields where Ruth was gleaning.
Too many men equate kindness with weakness and are afraid to be known as kind men. Ephesians 4v32 say clearly and simply, “Be kind one to another.” May we treasure the title of kindness. May we join with Naomi and say blessed are those who are kind.
How kind are we to others? Do people think of kindness when they think of us?
