"Let Your Gentleness Be Evident To All."

There is a wondrous 
charm in a gentle spirit
(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")

"Be completely humble and gentle; 
be patient, bearing with one
another in love." Ephesians 4:2

"Take MY yoke upon you and 
learn from ME, for I am gentle 
and humble in heart" Matthew11:29

There is a wondrous 
charm in a gentle spirit.
For instance, the gentle girl 
in the home may not be . . .
  beautiful, nor
  well educated, nor
  clever in any way.
But wherever she moves, 
she leaves a blessing.

Close beside every Christian, 
stands ONE who holds all gifts 
and graces in HIS hands. JESUS 
looks into our face and asks what 
new adornment HE shall give us. 

Let us pray for the spirit of 
gentleness, for no other gift will 
make us such a blessing to others.

"The fruit of the SPIRIT is . . . 
gentleness" Galatians 5:22

"Let your gentleness be 
evident to all."  Philippians 4:5

"Therefore, as GOD'S chosen 
people, holy and dearly loved, 
clothe yourselves with compassion, 
kindness, humility, gentleness 
and patience." Colossians 3:12
