Gentleness

What does gentleness accomplish? Won’t everyone walk all over me if I am gentle?

God’s Response

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. Here there is no conflict with the law. Galatians 5:22-23

You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. 1 Peter 3:4

Pursue a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. 1 Timothy 6:11

Gentleness does not mean that you are a doormat, letting others walk all over you. God is the perfect example of gentleness, and yet he is also a mighty warrior, able to defeat the powers of hell. In God’s eyes, gentle people are the most powerful and influential in the world because they make an impact without a corresponding conflict or war. Gentleness may be the most powerful weapon in your arsenal. You accomplish more by gentleness than by coercion.

God’s Promise

God blesses those who are gentle and lowly, for the whole earth will belong to them. Matthew 5:5
