The Beauty Of A Quiet And Gentle Spirit
God invites us to a life of gentleness where we honour speaking the truth in love and respect the dignity of everyone, including ourselves. We will then delight in the joy and wonder of each new day.
To be gentle with ourselves and with others doesn’t mean that we look for “easy ways” to avoid dealing with issues and continue in whatever is familiar but harmful. Gentleness means we approach life with quiet honesty, admitting the truth that we need help when we are struggling to cope.
Lord, don’t hold back your tender mercies from me. Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me. (Psalm 40:11 NLT)
Gentleness will grow in us, and flow from us, as we sit quietly and have a conversation with God. Just reading the Bible often brings peace and gentleness to our soul. When we speak to God in response to what He is teaching us, a gentle spirit seems to wrap itself around our hearts and our souls feel comforted.
Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew. Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants. (Deuteronomy 32:2 NLT)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Help me to live in the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which is precious in Your sight. Amen
