Kindness

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom. (Theodore Isaac Rubin, late psychiatrist and author)

Wisdom is important, of course. The Bible tells why: “Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!” and “How much better to get wisdom than gold. ((Proverbs 3:7; 16:16). Many are going to all kinds of sources to try to find the wisdom they need in today’s chaotic society. But without love and the kindness it fosters, wisdom can be empty and uncaring.

You must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness. (Colossians 3:12)
Be kind to each other. (Ephesians 4:32)
And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. (Romans 12:8)
