In a study of 37 cultures around the world, 16,000 people were asked about their most desired traits in a mate. Out of all the responses, the first preference was kindness. Above looks, wealth, or intelligence! Kindness is a deep-seated human value and is considered a virtue in most cultures and religions.

Part of the biblical definition of kindness includes usefulness, making it clear that being kind involves action.

1st John 3:18 says, “Let’s stop just saying we love each other; let’s really show it by our actions.”

Random acts of kindness have become popular as spontaneous actions focused on encouraging others. What can you do today to put kindness into action?
