Fruit of the Spirit #2

A story of kindness:

As every student bustles about struggling to finish their final papers and projects, stress levels are higher than any other time of the semester. I, too, was on edge last night, praying for deliverance from anxiety. Through a friend's simple act of kindness, God provided.

My friend, Jon, noticed me working in the lobby of his dorm on his way out to the store. When he returned, he had two bags full of candy in his hands. He approached me and offered the candies he knew I liked the best. This random act materialized kindness for me, the second fruit I have been meditating on.

Jon's kindness led to a sense of relief and freedom from the anxiety. God sent him to me in a moment of stress as a representation of His love.

Desire kindness this holiday season.
