Kindness is a fruit of the Spirit. It’s a fruit we all need to eat. There is something special in the nutrients of this fruit that makes anyone feel special.

Stop for a moment and recall some act of kindness shown to you. How did you feel? Did you feel cared for, important, and special? When you eat the fruit of kindness, it is so sweet to the soul. Do you remember the last act of kindness your spouse did for you? Do you remember how it made you feel?

You have the power of kindness locked inside of you through the Spirit of God. As a Christian, kindness is within you, and it wants to get out. Remember that with any act of kindness you show to your spouse, you are planting the seed of kindness inside his or her soul. In time, the seed you planted will eventually grow.

What will that seed become? It will become a tree with the fruit of kindness. You will get to eat the fruits of your planting. You may be reaping a plentiful harvest because of your continual planting and reaping. Or, are you honest enough to admit that you will probably reap a very small harvest?

Any day is a good day for planting kindness. As in the other love agreements, the love agreement of kindness does not depend on your spouse. Even the strongest will is not more powerful than the power of the seed or the biblical principle of sowing and reaping.
