"Clothe Yourselves With Compassion, Kindness."

The small coins of love!
(J.R. Miller, "Evening Thoughts" 1907)

"Be kind and compassionate
to one another" Ephesians 4:32

We should be always kind.
Nothing is more helpful than kindness.
Nothing else does more to brighten
the world and sweeten other lives.

Kindnesses are the small coins 
of love. We should always be ready 
to scatter these coins wherever we go. 

Kindnesses are usually little 
things that we do as we 
go along our daily path--
wayside acts, touches, 
words, little helpful things. 

We never know when we do any 
little thing in love for CHRIST, 
what the end of it will be--
what a harvest of good will finally 
come from it. It is better to do 
thousand little kindnesses every 
day, than to do a great deed 
of love once in a year, and then 
fail to be kind in the common days.

"Therefore, as GOD'S chosen people, 
holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves 
with compassion, kindness, humility, 
gentleness and patience." Colossians 3:12
