“凡事谦虚、温柔、忍耐，用爱心彼此宽容；”
以弗所书 4:2
“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”
Ephesians 4:2
Gentleness is a willingness to accept limitations and ailments without taking out our aggravation on others. It shows gratitude for the smallest service rendered and tolerance for those who do not serve us well.
It puts up with bothersome people—especially noisy, boisterous little people; for kindness to children is a crowning mark of a good and gentle person. It speaks softly in the face of provocation. It can be silent; for calm, unruffled silence is often the most eloquent response to unkind words.
Jesus is “gentle and humble in heart” (Matt. 11:29). If we ask Him, He will, in time, recreate us in His image.
Dear Lord,
I want to be a gentle person.
Please help me to be kind and gracious to others today.
Humility toward God will make us gentle toward others.
