Be kind. Oh, the power of kindness! It can not be
resisted; it conquers wherever it goes. This cold world knows no music so
sweet as kindness; it charms and delights the ears of all. If you would be
kind in word and act, be kind in thought. Be humble in mind. Think well of
others and not so well of yourself. Life will flow on peacefully and
easily if we are humble; nothing can disturb. Be meek, sweet, and mild
tempered. Bear long with the failings and weaknesses of others, carefully
considering your own and keeping in mind how you would like to have others
bear with you.
"And above all these things put on charity; which is the bond of
perfectness." Col. 3:14. Throw the mantle of love over every act and
thought in life. Love purely, love sincerely, love fervently. Nothing is
so great as love. All the graces have their seat in love; you can not be
compassionate, kind, humble, meek, or forbearing without love.
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts." Col. 4: 15. Let the peace
of God act as umpire, deciding every case. Let it have the ruling power in
your heart and life today and every day.
