April 20 – Gentleness

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. James 3:13  

Gentleness. It seems like a characteristic you see in weak people, but in reality it is a characteristic of strength. It takes a great gift to show calmness, personal care, and tenderness in meeting the needs of others. It is truly putting the needs of others first. That is just what God wants us to do. Be gentle in our attitude and actions.  

Training Tip – Sit down and read James 3 aloud to yourself. Scripture is so much more powerful when read and heard. Pray back to God a couple of verses. Can you apply these verses to yourself? Does gentleness describe you in any way? Do you want to have a gentle nature? Give God praise for His love and guidance in your life—for the gentleness that He has towards you. Then ask Him to give you gentleness in teaching and training your children to know Him and to be more like Jesus every day.  

Lord – Please give me wisdom and understanding. Help me to show Your gentle nature as I teach and train my children to know You…and to know themselves.

Happy 5th Birthday, Amelia!
