He is kind

Proverbs 19:22 What is desired in a man is kindness,
      And a poor man is better than a liar.

 

Isaiah 54:8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
      But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
      Says the LORD, your Redeemer.

 

Titus 3:4-5 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

 

I think one of the most wonderful qualities of Jesus is his kindness.  I'm sure you can picture some special people who epitomize kindness.  There's just something gracious and warm about their manner.  You feel welcomed and loved unconditionally.  The word "kind" seems to mean treating folks just like they were relatives (kin), with family acceptance that welcomes you just because you're part of the clan..part of the family.  The Lord is kind to us because He wants to be family with us and he draws us with tenderness, compassion and endless patience.  When we have felt the warmth of His kindness, we want to draw others into that circle of love as well.  Truly, He is kind.
