Loving Kindness

There was a time when I was into reading orthodox literature in Judaism. I’m not orthodox, but I found a lot of the deepest spiritual teachings I have ever read in my life in their books. I’ve always been kind of a truth seeker, so finding the heart of my own heritage was helpful to my understanding why some things impact me more than others.

My favorite thing I learned in my reading was that one of God’s attributes is loving kindness. I don’t know why, but reading that gave me a warmth in my heart that is precious to me. Even now when I think about it I get happier. It’s good for me to know that God’s kindness is loving kindness because that’s an example I can model.

God’s loving kindness helps me find a way to be more loving in my life. I can be kind to others. There doesn’t have to be a reason for it other than to be kind. Being kind is a choice I make in my day. When I consider what the best thing is that I can do for another person, the answer I usually come up with is that I can be kind.

I’ve noticed that people tend to appreciate kindness when I’m kind to them. When I think about how to be kind, it becomes a practice of listening to another person, hearing what they need, and making an effort to be helpful and supportive to them. I can see a person’s breathing change when I’m being kind to them. They seem more relaxed.

I love seeing the look in someone’s eyes when they are genuinely happy and feeling comfortable because they are being treated with kindness. They become so beautiful to look at. Their faces shine and you can see their real soul start to come out. I’ve watched a person turn from stressed and shriveled to glowing and young looking just with a smile.

People are really wonderful when they’re given the chance to be. I love creating magical moments with people using loving kindness. It’s so much fun. I get to learn what makes them special and honor their importance in the world. Even when I’m only around someone for a moment, it’s nice that the moment can be wrapped in loving kindness.

Blessings!
