How hard is it?

Sometimes being kind is just plain tough isn't it?  There may be someone in your life who just plain grates on you or gets under your skin in the worst way...true?  I bet I can safely say we have all seen some folks who were just downright ugly in their demeanor.  Those are the folks we least want to associate with, the ones we hate being around, and the ones we just want to body slam with our best sarcasm, snide and caustic remarks...the ones we want to disparage.  But.....those are the people who most need something every one of us has to offer.

Throughout the Bible, Jesus was always coming in contact with the types of folks mentioned above.  And yet, in every case, He set the example for all of us, and in doing so set the pattern of how we all should conduct our daily lives.  And...He made it seem so very easy.  He did it because He loved everyone.


So there should be just one question for us living in today's time...how hard is it to be kind?
