Gentleness – Lectio Divina



Let your gentleness be evident to all. Philippians 4:5a (NIV)

Gentleness

Lord I ask for Your spirit of gentleness to shine in my life.
May I reflect Your kindness in all that I meet.
May I treat my own self with tender love.

Gentleness

Loving others with a strong and decent goodness
Walking humbly through life, being honest with self
Speaking and being a blessing to others.

Gentleness

Thank you for Your never-ending gentleness with me.
Thank you for the gentleness shown to me by others
Thank you for being Gentleness.

Don't much think of God as gentle, but He is, isn't He? Oh many thanks that He is.

Thank you for your kind comments. I love the concept of gentleness and wouldn't the world be a nicer place if all of us were kinder and gentler.
