Nice is NOT a Fruit of the Spirit

This was the title of a workshop put on by a close friend of mine, at a conference Saturday. It is funny how we will be nice to avoid things getting messy, but what about that person that really needs to hear they are making a mistake?

My friend did some study on the origins of the two words and here the basic conclusions: True kindness combines speaking the truth in love. Nice is about caring about how you end up looking. Kindness is about looking for the best interest of the other.
