Tender? Humble?

From 1 Peter:

 all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called.


A good admonition, especially the first part, for a tender heart and a humble mind.  These are certainly not promoted states in our world today.  Our political and social discourse is too often aimed at the opposite.  I find myself in the same state and have to constantly remind myself of this way of thinking.


...a tender heart and a humble mind....if only I could stay that way, and how I would then bless those around me.....
