Shalom! Good morning and good night too for some who live in Indonesia. Happy Tremendous Tuesday everyone! Tuesday again in the second week of March and it still faraway from week end. However, Matthew said, Learn from me, for I am gentle. Hmh its so sweet, but its hard to do it. A profile of gentleness as it should appear in our lives will first include actively seeking to make others feel ease, or restful, in our presence. We should not be s strongly opinionated or dogmatic that others are afraid to express their opinionated or dogmatic that others are afraid to express their opinions in our presence. Instead, we should be sensitive to others opinions and ideas. We should also avoid displaying our commitment to Christian discipleship in such away as to make others feel guilty, taking care not to break the bruised reed of hurting Christian or snuff out the smoldering wick of the immature Christian. Gentleness will demonstrate respect for the personal dignity of other person as well. Where necessary, it will seek to change a wrong opinion or attitude by persuasion and kindness, not by dominion or intimidation. And also gentleness will avoid blunt and abrupt speech, instead seeking to answer everyone with sensitivity and respect, ready to show consideration toward all. gentle Christian do not feel they have liberty to say what I think and let the chips fall where they may. Instead theyre sensitive to the reactions and feeling of others. When gentle Christians find it necessary to wound with words, they also seek to bind up those wounds with words of consolation and encouragement. Gentle Christians will not degrade or belittle or gossip about the brother or sister who falls into sin. Instead they will grieve for him/her and pray for that persons repentance. If its appropriate to become personally involved follow the instruction as Paul wrote in Galatians 6:1, Brothers and sisters, what if someone is caught in a sin? Then you who are guided by the Spirit should correct that person. do it in gentle way. But be careful. You could be tempted too. we will seek to restore the person gently, but be aware that they too are subject to temptation. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10). May God strengthen each of us to be gentle when we become personally involved with this kind situation. Have a great Tuesday everyone!
