Spiritually Impelled Kindness

PEGGY FRENCH PHIPPS

True kindness stems from an understanding of God as divine Love, and of man as Love's immediate expression. But a limited, human sense of kindness, not rooted in an understanding of God, seems dependent on one's disposition and is variable. It appears to come and go according to particular circumstances and one's own mood.

It is not always easy to be kind in the face of rudeness, unjust criticism, or the inconsiderate and thoughtless actions of another. But sometimes we harbor indignation and resentment rather than banish them through the activity of the Christ, the spiritual idea of divine Love.
