Since God has been kind to you, the Bible says being kind to others is not optional. Again, don't tell me what a friend I have in Jesus until I see what a friend, what a kind friend I have in you. The third flower is humility. And with reason. Once again, don't tell me what a friend I have in Jesus until I see what a friend, what a sincerely humble friend, I have in you.
Gentleness is the fourth flower.
The fifth flower from today's Bible passage is patience. No, because He is patient. That's all nice, but it doesn't fit my situation. This clown I'm living with is no beautiful hummingbird. He's a vulture, tearing at my soul, killing the joy of life.
