“What is desired in a man is kindness, And a poor man is better than a liar.” (Proverbs 19:22)

Today, we are going to examine the word “kindness” and how it relates to the practical and biblical principles for “Spiritual” growth. In essence,“kindness” is the state or quality of being kind. Kindness is derived from kind; Characterized by acts of mercy and compassion, Christlike, warm-hearted, showing consideration, virtuous, forgiving, and excellent. Kindness is defined as a kind act; An act of goodwill; as to do a great kindness; Act of grace; Excellence, Fairness and impartiality; Charity; and Labor of love. It is a person’s ability to go beyond the norm of verbal praise into the acts of kindness without impartiality or to seek fame behind the action. In the business world, it is called “Emotional Intelligence Trait” a key leadership ability of social awareness to accurately pick up on emotions in other people and to show “empathy” with acts of kindness. It is your ability to foster an environment and culture of positive empathy. The “kindness” is a direct connection between “empathy” in self-management, building relationships, partnerships, employee development, growth, and human sustainability.

In the context of the scripture, King Solomon left on record for leadership following him and all people, the importance of showing “true” kindness with a heart to do good for the greater of mankind without hypocrisy. For instance, personally, I call this “Honoring-Life-To-Grow.” It is the ability to encourage others, show grace through acts of kindness, and honoring the “heart” given by God to make an impact. It is an in-depth ability to look through the glass into a person’s heart and discern the need. Thought to ponder: Your “kindness” is a pivotal point of separating “true leaders” from “just leaders.” Kindness is more than gratitude, kindness is more than thankfulness; Kindness is the ability to show greatness in humble submission with the resources available. Keep in mind, there are two levels of “kindness.” “Kindness in Action” is showing love without impartiality and “Kindness of Promise” is to keep one’s word when an act of saving one’s life binds an agreement of the same return (true token). This type of kindness is both verbal and in Spirit. **Reference (Joshua 2:12)
