A Touch of Kindness

In the past few weeks, when I was speaking with someone, I occasionally would tear up slightly.
I imagine they thought this might be from fear or from self-pity. What was happening, though, was that I was being deeply touched by the kindness of that person. It moved me that they cared about the situation.

It is amazing how much just a touch of kindness can make a difference in people's lives. No wonder it is listed as one of the 9 fruits of the Spirit, along with love, joy, peace, patience, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)
