A Gentle Heart

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of gentleness
Colossians 3:12 NASB1995

Gentleness is a rare commodity in the world today. It is often associated with weakness, being a ‘sissy’, but in reality it is harder to be seen as gentle than to pretend to be tough. Could a gentle spirit be more transforming?

What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?
1 Corinthians 4:21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.4.21.NASB1995

Gentleness is another fruit of the Spirit of God. One who is caught in a transgression, who could easily be one of us, can be restored with humility and gentleness. Showing tolerance with gentle correction to another, in love, could lead to God granting them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth.
Galatians 5:23/Galatians 6:1/Ephesians 4:2/2 Timothy 2:25 NASB1995

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
James 3:13 NASB1995

🌹Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.
Philippians 4:5 NASB1995
