His Gentleness Makes Great

Meditation on 2 Samuel 22:36:

David said:  "You have assigned to me, committed to me the protective defense of Your liberty, deliverance, prosperity.  Your gentle patience nourishes and enables me to grow up, multiplying Your goodness."

God Speaks To My Heart:

When your spirit is nourished by My gentleness, the evil done you in the past can be viewed through the veil of forgiveness.  You can see your own failures and grievous sins through My burning eyes, which cleanse and make right.  Yes, gently I set you free to be!

"And Thy gentleness makes me great."  Psalm 18:35 (NAS)

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I feel it not. I believe in God even when He is silent. *Written on a wall in a concentration camp*

Gentle Among You!

Meditation on 1 Thessalonians 2:7~8:

Paul said: "But we were mild, kind among you even as a nurse nourishes her children with warmth.  Thus yearning with affection for you, we were well pleased to share with you not only the good news of God, but also our own vital spirit because you were dearly beloved by us."

God speaks to my heart:

Those who come to know Me through you will always be responsive to your tender concern.  As you share yourself with them, as you are open, vulnerable, honest, they will realize saints are human beings, frail and faulty, who have persistently held onto Me through every kind of circumstance and found Me faithful, worthy of trust.

"The servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle." 2 Tim. 2:24 (kjv)
