Causal religion offers little real hope. That’s why comfortable Christians can be unkind. However, when we have immediate awareness of the presence of “Christ in you,” we are filled with “the hope of glory.” Kindness is part of the fruit of the Spirit.
Immediate awareness of the presence of Jesus comes from personally experiencing the historical reality of His resurrection. I sense His presence throughout each day. That keeps me focused on, humbled by, and immeasurably grateful for the wondrous glory that He rose from the dead and now lives in me.
Whether prenatal or postnatal, unkindness and cruelty are not good things. Be kind to all of humanity!
Where hope goes
Kindness grows
And it shows
In the way
People act.
Unkindness
Is a sign
Of hopelessness.
It sees Christ
As just a story
Not as the hope of glory.
