Why Gentleness is a Powerful Quality to Possess
The goodness of gentleness is required in a lifetime. Gentleness inspires calm and peace. It is caring and tender. We can be gentle with our heart by being kind and peaceful. We can manifest gentleness mentally with gentle thoughts of peace and love.
And we can be gentle physically with how we perform tasks, or how we carry ourselves. If we are mentally, emotionally, and physically gentle that is because spiritually we have the fruit of gentleness from the Holy Spirit. So, the goodness of gentleness can cover the whole person if practiced accordingly.
Gentleness is thus a skill that is sharpened by practice. A thing that, if practiced, can be done to perfection; a thing we can master. Gentleness is free. “They say the best things in life are free.”
We’ve evolved to forget that just like the air we breathe, gentleness is free, kindness is free, and joy is free. We only need to have the Source of these internal (spiritual) goodnesses, and this Source is none other than the good God of heaven and earth. These qualities are so potent as to be known to have been alive in the most dire places in humanity, with faith and hope being free too. Money is required in life, but it doesn’t hold possession of life’s most prized possessions.
Life, as we see throughout the green and blue Earth in nature, is full of love and care. From the sun manifesting the green, to the moon holding the blue in place. Even fruits and veggies are given freely by the ground. Life would not make its most prized possessions inaccessible to all of humanity, that is certainly not what it practices.
Life gives its gifts abundantly, freely, and unendingly. If we had joy when we were 5 years old, we can have joy when we’re 85 years old because life doesn’t run out of joy. God is life. We have Him, and we have an abundance of life. The embrace of gentleness will open us up to more of life’s greatest gifts because it is a trait that is possessed by all other good traits.
There is gentleness in love, peace, kindness, care, etc., which are all free. Gentleness is among the most perfect conditions to have life in because it inspires more life. More life means more good and more light. Practicing gentleness as a soul will mean self-care of indeed our whole self.
Gentleness inspires mindfulness because it involves slow conscious movements. Living through gentleness will mean unending manifestations of self-control and self-love throughout our life. This is because, in essence, gentleness is mindfulness and carefulness. And how exactly do we become gentle? We decide that we want to be gentle by choosing to be in an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit and His Word (the Bible), and we become enabled to practice and master being gentle when living out our lives. So, we become gentler with more practice till it is a habit or first nature. Even when we catch ourselves being gentle, we remain humble and still call it practice. We consciously practice being gentle in all our ways till we are so gentle in all we do, like how we treat ourselves and those around us, so much so that our practicing gentleness isn’t practice anymore but is just being a gentle human being, ever empowered by the most gentle Holy Spirit of God.–
