Others Should Feel His Kindness

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

As Christians we love the unlovable.

“All round us is the great, dark, unloving world. How very few care for our Saviour; even those who are called by His name sometimes offer Him a very cold kind of affection. He said on the cross, I thirst, and even now His love is athirst for love. Form the habit of using everything that speaks of His presence to remind you of Him, and as you are so reminded, lift up your heart in loving adoration. “Lord, I love Thee; I who am dust of Thy dust, I love Thee; I worship Thee; I adore Thee.” If only you do this, then of one thing I am sure. You will not only love one another so tenderly that unkindness will be impossible, but every man, woman and child who comes to you will feel some touch of His kindness. Love will flow round everyone and far beyond—who can tell how far? And best of all, there will be refreshment for Him as of a drink of cool water on a hot day.”
