Her mouth she has opened in wisdom, and the law of loving-kindness is upon her tongue.—Prov. 31:26.
The weighty message that King Lemuel of ancient times received from his mother included this important qualification of a good wife. Loving-kindness is desirable upon the tongue of a wise woman as well as all others who want to please Jehovah God. (Prov. 19:22) Loving-kindness should be evident in the speech of all true worshippers. As the very term suggests, loving-kindness includes the traits of love and kindness. It involves kindness, that is, taking a personal interest in others and showing that concern by helpful deeds and thoughtful words. Since love is also a factor, displaying loving-kindness calls for taking an interest in the welfare of others out of love for them. Loving-kindness is the kindness that willingly and loyally attaches itself to someone until its purpose regarding that person comes to fruition. w10 8/15 3:1, 3
