Today's Bible reading is the 2nd chapter of the Book of Romans. You can read it here at Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+2&version=NASB

In today's passage of scripture we have a great reminder of a correct attitude or perspective to have in our thoughts towards others. The chapter begins with the apostle discussing the matter of "passing judgement" when he asks the following question: "Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?" God help us to never think lightly of the riches of His kindness which is in Christ. Oh, that we would we never forget the sweet taste of His kindness for us in our relationships with others. It is the kindness of God that leads one to repentance and without it there would be none. The apostle had come to deeply appreciate the kindness, tolerance and patience of God and how God had worked through it to wrought change in his life. So, no, let us never think lightly of the "riches of His kindness", but quite the opposite, grow deeper in our appreciation and understanding of it.
