The Bible teaches us about the importance of being kind. We should think about how we want to be treated ourselves then we should treat others in the same way.
This is the Golden Rule:
We should treat others with kindness as we ourselves would like to be treated with kindness.
In the Bible we are told to 'clothe' ourselves with kindness alongside other positive qualities. Imagine getting dressed in the morning and 'putting on' kindness!
