Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone - Titus 3:2.
Our God is gentle. He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness - Hebrews 5:2. He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those who are with young - Isaiah 40:11.
God wants us to learn gentleness from Him. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls - Matthew 11:28-29.
We need to be gentle in our conversations. A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger - Proverbs 15:1. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect - 1 Peter 3:15.
Let us always be gentle toward everyone. Let your gentleness be evident to all - Philippians 4:5. As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience - Colossians 3:12. Brother and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently - Galatians 6:1.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us always be gentle toward everyone. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
