John Leong Poet Rhyme

Gentleness

Aim for gentleness in life
do not be sharp as a knife;
you won't regret it soon
it's good, it is a boon!

Tis' a Fruit of the Spirit
so you better believe it;
by gentleness you show love
required by the Man Above.

So practice this daily
let love gush out freely;
thou get a goodnight's sleep
God in thy heart to keep.

Amen!

The Book Of Galatians 5: 22-23 states:
v. 22: "In contrast, the Fruit of the Spirit
is, love, joy, peace, patience (long suffering),
kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
v. 23: gentleness, self control.
Against such there is no law."

Amen!

John Leong September 6, 2017 at 10:54 AM sometimes when i treat my loved ones harshly, this verse convicts me; i feel remorse and set out to right my wrongs and to be gentle. we have a lot to learn in life, for it is a learning process; and yet, it is folly to follow through on being unkind, wicked or even haughty. let us pray the Lord will continue to discipline us in our daily lives, for He chastises those whom He loves. Amen!
