We’re looking at the fruits of the Spirit as written by the Apostle Paul in Galatians 5:22-23. Today, we’ll focus on gentleness. Have you heard of someone characterized as a gentle giant? Typically, they mean someone of great stature and power, yet they show a gentle spirit. They could wield a powerful weapon with their strength, but they practice gentleness. In a way, we’re all like that. We all have power over others. With that power comes great responsibility. We can use that power to be gentle. Nice. Kind. Respectful. Proverbs 15:1 says that “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” That “soft” or “gentle” word is sometimes all it takes to diffuse a situation. Gentleness can have a lot of power. Be a gentle giant today.
