Be Kind
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. (Wendy Mass, novelist)
We would all do well to follow Mass’ advice. Sometimes, we may not respond well to someone because we’re having a bad day, but we should strive to be gracious all the time. It’s always good to be as kind as possible to everyone we meet, realizing that they may be having a difficult time, too. You might even be able to help lift their spirits.
The words of the godly encourage many. (Proverbs 10:21)
Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. (Ephesians 4:29)
