"Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near." -Philippians 4:5 (NASB)
My daughter recently told me about a child that is new to my her class. My daughter told me that the teachers and students are nice to the girl, but the new girl sometimes gets sad because she misses her mommy. My daughter explained how she tries to talk to the girl and make her feel better. My daughter's concern for the new student in her class exhibits a gentle and caring spirit that we should all strive for in our lives.
Others should know of our gentle spirit, but it shouldn't be something that we need to broadcast or brag about. Others should be able to see and sense our gentle spirit through our words and actions. When we root our words and actions in God's love, those around us should feel comforted by gentleness and caring. Our actions should help those around us feel the closeness of God and His love!
Be gentle and caring so others can sense the love of God coming through you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for caring for me and loving me. Help my words and actions to be gentle and caring so others can know of Your love. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
