Therefore, true kindness must be intended, met with purposeful action, given freely, and shared regularly. It’s the only kind of exercise that reshapes relationships and lives; a muscle that must be utilized or will be lost to the body, heart, and soul.

Kindness doesn’t come naturally, though it naturally IS the most patient of emotions and strength-laden actions…always letting anger, strife, envy, selfishness, and fear -go first. Not to be confused with weakness, kindness is meekness; the chosen merciful restraint and/or gracious actions toward others.
