Small mercies, big impact.
Living out everyday compassion.
The big idea
Kindness is the most underrated way to look like Jesus.
What does “Clothed in Kindness” walk through?
Put On Kindness
Colossians 3:12 · KJV
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering.
In plain English
Wear compassion like clothing — kindness, humility, gentleness, patience.
A Daily Choice
Kindness isn't a personality type. It's clothing you choose to put on.
Be Kind
Ephesians 4:32 · KJV
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
In plain English
Be kind to each other. Tenderhearted. Forgiving — the way God has forgiven you.
Because You're Forgiven
We're kind to others because God was first kind to us.
Pray
Lord, clothe me in kindness today. Let me be gentle with everyone I meet. Amen.
