KINDNESS is one thing that becomes us, and we have a nice illustration of it before us in the dear children showing kindness to the horses. We can see that the horses and kitty are accustomed to the kindness of the children.
If we know what God’s love and grace is to us, we shall delight in showing this to others, and this is what the Lord asks us to do.
In Luke 10 we get the beautiful illustration of the kindness of our blessed Lord, in the case of the certain Samaritan, who did everything for the poor man that had fallen among thieves.
So if we know what the Lord Jesus has done for us in taking our place on Calvary’s cross, we must seek to show that same grace to others, and as we become more like Him in our ways, even the animals around us will be treated kindly.
