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.
