" Kindness is the sincere desire for the happiness of others; goodness is the activity calculated to advance that happiness. Kindness is the inner disposition, created by the Holy Spirit, that causes us to be sensitive to the needs of others, whether physical , emotional, or spiritual. Goodness is kindness in action - words and deeds."
George W. Bethune well observed, "The best definition of goodness is in the life and character of Jesus Christ.
"Jesus ...went about doing good." (Acts 10:38
