What does the fruit of gentleness look like in your life? Gentleness is one of the qualities that God wants to cultivate in our lives. In our rough and rugged individualism, we think of gentleness as weakness—being soft and virtually spineless. Not so. Gentleness comes from a life committed to living close to the vine. It is a cultivated life committed to a deepening relationship with God. It's a life that offers grace because of the grace God has given. True gentleness is power and strength that's been brought under God's control. Gentle people have been transformed by the surprising message of God's grace, and they delight in showing that grace to others.
