God's Gentleness

This fruit of the Holy Spirit is
what we know,
Gentleness is God’s strength
under control. 

May this be an example of humility in
your conduct and speech.
Being gentle will affect all people
that you will reach. 

In this harsh, rude and
unforgiving world,
God’s gentleness in your life
will shine like gold. 

May your life be a reflection of
this wonderful gift,
For God’s presence in your life
will give you a lift! 

Jesus will lift you up,
and others will say,
Christ’ love and gentleness has
blessed us today!”
