Gentleness

Spirit fruit: gentleness.

This hour

Under fire

The next right hold — walk this hour.

  • Contempt is not courage.
  • If you must correct, restore gently. Check your pride first.
  • Soft answer. Truth without the knife.

Prayer

When you do not have the words.

  • Jesus, form Your gentleness in me. Amen.

Truth

When you can read deeper — Scripture-rooted steel.

The fruit of the Spirit is gentleness.

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand.

Always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.
