Kind, but strong

Kind and gentle as a dove. Courageous and strong as a lion.

Kindness means “the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.” And gentle, “having or showing a mild, kind, or tender temperament or character.”

Often these two characteristics are associated with weakness. Well, let me tell you something…

Did you know the strongest and most enormous Being in the world is also the kindest, most gentle of all?

He is so strong He defeated death itself! He is so gentle, He healed those who sought to kill Him, and loved those who hate Him.

Have courage and be kind

There’s a difference between being courageous and manipulating and intimidating people.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32 NIV

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he [b]meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the [c]rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
