(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")
"With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;" Ephesians 4:2
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Matthew 11:29
There is a wondrous charm in a gentle spirit.
For instance, the gentle girl in the home may not be . . .
beautiful, nor
well educated, nor
clever in any way.
But wherever she moves, she leaves a blessing.
Close beside every Christian, stands One who holds all gifts and graces in His hands. Jesus looks into our face and asks what new adornment He shall give us. Let us pray for the spirit of gentleness, for no other gift will make us such a blessing to others.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith," Galatians 5:22
"Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand." Philippians 4:5
"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;" Colossians 3:12
