Gentleness – Lectio Divina

August 1, 2010 By Jean Wise


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.

    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.

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

    A perfect Sunday thought. This is my prayer, too.
