GENTLENESS

Greetings!!

Sorry for being absent for a few days...we have been painting a couple of rooms in our house for a few days...so it's been exhausting, to say the least!

I am so thankful this morning that our God is who He is! He is always near, always present and always ready to help and comfort us with whatever we need, be it large or small!

I lost my patience this morning and spoke unkind words....
Then I open up my daily devotional book, and He gently speaks to me through His word to remind me of a better way...

Let your gentleness be known to everyone. Philippians 4:5

God, though all-powerful, is also gentle. When we choose not to force our plans, opinions, or desires upon others, we imitate Him. When we return a gentle word for a harsh one or offer a tender embrace to a troubled heart, we are showing the world that we are our Father's children.

Power can do by gentleness, what violence fails to accomplish. Latin Proverb

Have a wonderful day!
