Aug 8 – Fruit of The Spirit: Gentleness
Fruit of the Spirit
August 8 – Gentleness
Scripture:
“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” — Proverbs 15:1 (NKJV)
Reflection:
Gentleness is not weakness—it’s strength under control. It takes spiritual maturity to respond calmly and lovingly, especially in tense or hurtful situations. Jesus modeled gentleness, even when facing opposition. Through the Spirit, we can respond with humility and grace.
Prayer:
Jesus, teach me to be gentle like You. When I’m tempted to react in anger or pride, help me respond with love. Let my words and actions reflect Your peace. Amen.
