Today we will be dealing with 20 bible verses about kindness. God has a special place in His heart for those who take care and show love to their fellow human being. Ever since God created us He has been kind to us so He wants us to show kindness to people around us without doing eye service. Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.
We can show kindness by giving to the poor, helping people who are in need of help, giving assistant to people who needs it just as we heard in our Sunday school about the good Samaritan who showed love to his fellow human being.
Twenty bible verses have been collected on how we can be kind to people around us, show love, help the needy and the reward that comes with it.
