Kindness isn’t a personality trait, it’s a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) and an expression of biblical love (1 Corinthians 13:4). Kindness does not have its origins in you, but in God. Kindness says to our spouse, “I know you are a sinner like me and you will sin against me, just like I sin against you. But I refuse to live defensively with you. I’m going to live leaning in your direction with a merciful posture that your sin and weakness cannot erase.”

How I long for this attitude in me toward my own marriage!
And how deeply I long for all the marriages represented at Racine Bible to be filled with this expression!!
