Have you ever considered the difference between being “nice” and being “kind”? Our culture has somewhat conflated the two, but it’s important to note that Scripture offers clarity: believers are called to act kindly.

Kindness isn’t simple pleasantries or appearances like niceness is—kindness is a deep love, respect, and care for another. Kindness, as referenced in the Fruits of the Spirits, is acting out of gentleness. If God is love, and love is patient and love is kind…well, a Godly girl is called to be kind too.

Tonight at dinner, invite everyone to share a moment where they extended kindness to a classmate, coworker, or stranger. With examples and accountability to extend kindness to others, together we can raise a generation of Godly girls.
