1213A: A Gentle Life
You and I were designed by our God to walk this earth as He did; not clothed in the pious arrogance of the Pharisees, but wrapped in the cloak of servitude, worn by God Himself. Is that how God sees you? The single most absent ingredient in the church today may well be a spirit of meekness; a gentle spirit towards man, reflecting a humble spirit towards self, because of a meek spirit towards God. God is after men and women of humility. He delights when His children live in the home with such gentleness that the word of the day is "how can I serve you". He delights when we correct those who are captured in sin with such a gentle heart that they are drawn irresistibly to resist that sin and repent. He delights when we let the world see the amazing difference that only Jesus can make in a life.
