Gentleness
Gentleness
Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) - 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Gentleness can also be translated as meekness or humility.
One commentary said, “This word connotes a submissive and teachable spirit toward God that manifests itself in genuine humility toward others…gentleness is strength under control, power harnessed in loving service and respectful actions.”
Both Moses and Christ exhibited this character of gentleness.
In Colossians 3:12 Paul teaches us to clothe ourselves with gentleness.
I don’t know who wrote this quote, but I like it: “The one human characteristic that can make a person stand out above all others in a group is a mannerism of complete gentleness.”
My prayer for you today is that gentleness is evident in your life.
Expecting God’s Best,
