Episode 81 - The Fruit of Gentleness

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.Have you ever said something harsh or condescending toward someone only later, to wish you could take back your words? James says, “Let every man be slow to speak.” Mary Davies wrote:If I had known what trouble you were bearing,What griefs were in the silence of your face;I would have been more gentle and more caring,And tried to give you gladness for a space.I would have brought more warmth into the place,If I had known.As the Spirit of God leads us, He often gives us a discernment to know when to be gentle. The Apostle wrote to the Church of Thessalonica, “We were gentle among you.” The Lord gave the Apostle Paul a spirit of care and kindness. This life, that was once defined by harshness was transformed to one of gentleness and care.
