Colossians 3:12, ESV
Let us be patiently kind to each other with the kindness of Christ, compassionate with each other in the humility of knowing we each struggle in some areas, knowing we need help to get through.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
1 Corinthians 13:4, ESV
God loved us enough to humble Himself to die in our place.
We are saved by grace through faith, not by anything we do.
If we love God and others, we have no reason to boast of our gifts or salvation, so we humbly declare to others the love of Gkod.
Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
Proverbs 17:28, ESV
“If you can’t say nuthin’ nice, don’t say nuthin’ at all.”
Sometimes, the best thing to say is nothing. It can be the most loving and intelligent thing to say so that no one gets hurt.
Including yourself.
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

Daily life can be hard, and a realization of our sin can weigh heavy on the heart and mind.
An encouraging word can change a bad day to a good day, and the Gospel can free us from shame and fear.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
1 Corinthians 13:4, ESV

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8, ESV
Do not seek what is fair, but what is just.
Show kindness to all, not only those who agree with you.
Realize your need for God to change you, not try to change your own life or things in this world.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
1 Corinthians 13:4-5, ESV
Love is so much more than a feeling. It is a choice and an action. Our feelings can help us be patient and kind, but it is the power of the Gospel by the Holy Spirit that truly makes it possible.
Through these, we can be like Jesus who endured mocking and beatings to bring us joy.
