Be Kind to One Another

Plummer says "kindness" refers to the "sympathetic kindliness or sweetness of temper which puts others at their ease, and shrinks from giving pain."

"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4:32; NKJV)

Four tough questions:

1. Do I act with kindness towards others?

2. Do others feel "at ease" in my presence?

3. Do others feel they can draw close to me?

4. Or do I with sharp words, cold shoulders, or arrogant condescension discourage others from feeling comfortable around me?
