171:7.1 [[Jesus]] spread [[good]] [[cheer]] everywhere he went. He was full of [[grace]] and [[truth]]. His [[associates]] never ceased to [[wonder]] at the [[gracious]] [[words]] that proceeded out of his mouth. You can [[cultivate]] gracefulness, but graciousness is the aroma of [[friendliness]] which [[emanates]] from a [[love]]-[[saturated]] [[soul]].

171:7.2 [[Goodness]] always [[compels]] [[respect]], but when it is devoid of [[grace]], it often [[repels]] [[affection]]. [[Goodness]] is [[universally]] [[attractive]] only when it is [[gracious]]. Goodness is [[effective]] only when it is [[attractive]].

171:7.3 [[Jesus]] really [[understood]] men; therefore could he [[manifest]] genuine [[sympathy]] and show [[sincere]] [[compassion]]. But he seldom indulged in [[pity]]. While his [[compassion]] was boundless, his [[sympathy]] was [[practical]], [[personal]], and constructive. Never did his familiarity with [[suffering]] breed [[indifference]], and he was able to [[minister]] to distressed [[souls]] without increasing their [[self]]-[[pity]].
