Show Notes:
○ Galatians 5:22-23
○ 1st and foremost, remember that these Fruits of the Spirit are all characteristics of God
• Gentleness
○ Gentleness- the quality of being kind, tender, or mild-mannered; softness of action or effect
○ An exert from a devotional by Lauren Abraham:
○ A common misconception is that gentleness is weakness or passivity. True gentleness, however, is just the opposite. It requires great strength and self-control. Gentleness comes from a state of humility. Therefore, someone who lacks gentleness is often prideful and easily angered, or feels the need for revenge. (From <https://www.gcu.edu/blog/spiritual-life/weekly-devotional-fruit-spirit-gentleness>)
○ Gentleness is the humble and meek attitude of wanting to help others instead of wanting to be superior to them- an attitude that flows from a spirit of real love.
○ (Humility- a modest or low view of one's own importance.)
○ God's gentleness is characterized by love, grace, mercy and judgement.
