An excerpt from “412teens.org” entitled, “What is Gentleness as a Fruit of the Spirit?” by Rhonda Maydwell, states: “Gentleness is not so much about our natural personality traits as it is about our attitudes and how we approach others.” The article may be viewed at: What is gentleness as a Fruit of the Spirit? | 412teens.org [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Ephesians 4:2]
Application: “Whether as congregants or pastors, whether as men or as women, husbands or wives, fathers or mothers, bosses or employees, genuine biblical gentleness is formed and filled by God himself. When we admire God’s gentleness — and he is its paragon — we don’t celebrate that he is weak. Rather, as his feeble sheep, we enjoy that not only is our Shepherd infinitely strong, but he is all the more admirable because he knows how to wield his power in ways that give life to, rather than stifle, his beloved.” [Source: https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-strongest-men-are-gentle by David Mathis]
