Recognize the overwhelming kindness of God! (Matthew 11:30, Ephesians 2:7, Titus 3:4)
God’s kindness is meant to change us! (Romans 2:4)
Kindness is not just in big actions, but in the small, daily moments of life!
Kindness is character before it is action!

Cultivate Jesus’ kindness by the power of the Holy Spirit!

1. Give God’s grace 29

EVERY WORD that comes out of your mouth must be checked:

• Is it necessary?
• Is it beneficial?
• Is it kind?

Words have the power of construction and destruction!
How am I building up with my words, rather than tearing down?

2. Delight God’s Spirit 30

When we let self eclipse God’s purpose, it grieves the Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit is a person with emotions dwelling in believers.
The Holy Spirit seals us, as our identifying mark that secures us in Christ. (Ephesians 1:13)
Exercise your new nature with God’s life in you- to God’s delight and yours! (Eph. 4:17-20)

3. Overflow with God’s heart 31-32

God values people passionately and practically!
God’s heart is for people to know, love, and live truth.
We cheapen relationships when we lose sight of the value of people.
Remember the value that Jesus placed on you!
