[:en]GENTLENESS

Gentleness is the willingness to accept limitations and ailments without taking out our aggravation on others.  It shows gratitude for the smallest service rendered and tolerance for those who do not serve us well.  It puts up with bothersome people — especially noisy, boisterous little people; for kindness to children is a crowning mark of a good and gentle person.  It speaks softly in the face of provocaton.  And silence is the most eloquent response to unkind words.

As we humble ourselves before God, we will be gentle towards others.  – by (David H. Roper)[:]
