Introduction: Drawing by kindness is Gods idea and how He intends relationships to be. Kindness simply
put; is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Its a behaviour marked by a pleasant
disposition and concern for others. In other words, being helpful towards someone in need
God exemplified kindness for us.
He loved us unconditionally Jn 3:16,
He loved us eternally Jer 31:3
He is a very present help in time of Need Ps 46:1
He does not call us servants but friends Jn15:13-15
He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother

Why Kindness

It comes right back to us Lk 6:38

Jesus taught and showed us kindness-Lk 10:25-37
It is a godly fragrance II Cor 2:14-15
Its easier, better and pays off even much better.
We are commanded to be kind to one another Eph 4:32
You are wired for kindness
You will draw people to God with your kindness

Conclusion: Treat everyone with kindness, not just because they are nice but because you are and indeed
you are a child of God. Stay on good terms with each other, held together by love. Be ready with a meal or
a bed when its needed. Why, some have extended hospitality to angels without ever knowing it! Regard

prisoners as if you were in prison with them. Look on victims of abuse as if what happened to them had
happened to you Heb 13:2 ( Msg)
