Kindness is a quality that can help us overcome every difficulty. A kind act is seldom forgotten; it shines like a light in the world, as when Mary anointed the feet of Jesus with the precious ointment and dried them with her hair in John 12:1-8. Every kind act that we do is remembered by God through all eternity. Consider what He says in Matt. 25:34-40. We treasure the kind deeds of departed loved ones, and hold them in our memory. It was, “...when the kindness of God our Savior, and His love toward man appeared, not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to His mercy He saved us, that being justified by His grace, we may be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:4-7). It is this kindness and love of God that causes us to turn to Him knowing that He will love us and care for us now and through all eternity. Remember, He has said, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28). We can cast all our care upon Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Christ has become the author of salvation to all who obey Him (Heb. 5:9).
