Fruit of the Spirit (Gentleness)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law – Galatians 5:22-23.

Gentleness is kindness that is manifested in an individual every time you come in contact with them. A sweetness of temper, easy to be entreated when anyone have wronged them. Gentleness is not allowing people to say or do anything they want to you, but it’s a kindness that people know and feel when they are around you and will feel at ease when they are in your presence.

Long-suffering is having the heart of God and the mind of Jesus Christ. Read More
