Ephesians 4:32

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.”

Let’s look at this list:

  1. Be kind

  2. Be tender hearted

  3. Forgive others

How about two out of three? Two out of three ain’t bad. (And if you just started singing a Meatloaf song- you are one of the cool ones)

People today can be kind- even though they would rather not.

People today will say- “I forgive you”- even if they don’t mean it.

But that tender hearted stuff- you can’t fake that. It’s either genuine or totally and obviously an act.

A tender heart is filled with uncompromising love. There is mercy over prejudice. There is generosity over selfishness.

Not everyone can have a tender heart- but we believers must show the love of Jesus to others. And He is the greatest example of a tender heart.
