A wise man once said, “When I was a young man, I admired clever men. Now that I am old, I admire kind men.” I think I know what he meant. Clever people are generally self-centered and self-serving. They are quick to find the easy answer, the path of least resistance. They amuse the crowd with their quick wit, but they seem somehow to lack compassion. Kindness, on the other hand, wears well. Genuinely good men may not be flashy but over the long haul they always prove their worth.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness…against such things there is no law.”
— Galatians 5:22-23
Lord Jesus, help me to be a kind man, to think of others before I think of myself. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
