Fruits of the Holy Spirit - Kindness.
"He did this through Christ Jesus out of his generosity to us in order to show his extremely rich kindness in the world to come." (Ephesians 2:7)
Kindness does not necessarily mean nice. One can be kind and not nice. Nice is defined as being agreeable. In contrast, kindness is acting for the good of people regardless of what they do. Kindness is goodness in action, sweetness of disposition, gentleness in dealing with others, benevolence, kindness, affability.
The word describes the ability to act for the welfare of those taxing your patience. The Holy Spirit removes abrasive qualities from the character of one under His control.
