Most people believe that being gentle is a sign of weakness, but I believe it takes strength of character to show gentleness. God tells us to be gentle, and to live a mild tempered life.
"...Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness." 1 Timothy 6:11
We are to pursue a life of gentleness. When we speak tenderly we deflect anger but when we speak harsh we make tempers flare.
"Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the Spirit" Proverbs 15:4
