It cannot exist in a vacuum. Kindness reaches out. Love is patient, love is kind . . . It is the friendliness that inquires about a spouse's rough day. Our model is God's friendly seeking us out, putting aside past hurts to restore friendship.
Compassion flows readily to helpfulness.
This third face of kindness is generous, willing to extend itself in practical ways to aid others. A sightless beggar was brought to the Master. God's compassion spills forth in practical, helpful, merciful deeds. Again and again God's response to hostility is an example of kindness. Kindness is at the very roots of the God's nature.
