Day 19 About Gentleness

From Touching the Clouds: Encouraging Stories to Make Your Faith Soar

Gentleness is not always respected in our society, but it is love in action—having a teachable spirit, being considerate, placing the needs of others above our own. The selfishness that drives a carnal, domineering attitude can only be tamed by the work of the Holy Spirit, as described by Paul: “But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control; and here there is no conflict with Jewish laws” (Galations 5: 22 TLB).

The gentle one allows Christ to comfort her: “Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God” (I Peter 3: 3-4 NASB).
