Colossians 3:12-14
12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tender hearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
Compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and love...These are all positive characteristics. If you love, everything else follows and is wrapped up in that love. Love holds the others in place. God wants us to try to our best to show loving kindness and have a compassionate heart. You never know how far such a tender attitude may go. It can just bless people beyond imagination and chances are you will never know who exactly is impacted and how. Nonetheless, making good choices really can make a difference :)
