Kindness and goodness is something that needs to be internalized, not just professed.
We all need strong people to stand by us and help us through life. These people are shining examples of strength and can expose those who profess to be leaders and examples to follow while in fact they are cruel to those who they feel are beneath them or cannot help them in any way.
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
1 John 3:18
It does no good to say we wish someone peace and happiness and then secretly treat them in a cruel manner. That is hypocritical. If we wish to do as Jesus asks, we must be strong, and treat others with kindness and gentleness, the way we wish to be treated. When we encounter the opposite, we need to remove ourselves from those people.
May we all strive to be strong, kind people.
The great mind knows the power of gentleness.

Thank you so much HiRO 🙂 I have fun with it. I took a community education class in “zentangling”, which is basically organized doodling. It is very relaxing. I combined that with drawing and like to add a quote that speaks to me 🙂 Thanks for the nice comment and for the encouragement!! 🙂
That sounds awesome! And I love your creativity! It’s not like just doing what you learned, but instead, you did combine it with what you want to express. I am looking forward to your art more!
