Kindness

Proverbs 31:25 says "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue." There are many other verses that talk about the importance of kindness. In our passage, the older women are told to teach the younger women to be kind. The primary hindrance to showing kindness is our own selfishness. When we are concerned about our own desires, we will find it difficult to be concerned about others. There are so many practical ways to show kindness, yet we need to train ourselves to be aware of other's needs. If you are to teach the younger to be kind, you must first be kind! How can you teach the younger to be kind?
