Ripened & Ready E8 - The Gentleness Fruit
Manage episode 443188795 series 3298163
In this podcast episode, Yemi and Philia discuss the eighth and penultimate attribute of the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) which is Gentleness. Gentleness is the quality of being kind, tender, or mild-mannered. The act of gentleness is a strength and not a weakness. Gentleness is needed for all our relationships. It is a balm that can calm intense interactions. It is a balm to our soul and the souls of others through the application of grace (unmerited favor or goodwill). God loves us and exhibited gentleness towards us through the actions of Jesus Christ. Even with the gift of the Holy Spirit that dwells in us, oftentimes the communication is a gentle whisper which leads us and gives us direction. "And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, 'This is the way; walk ye in it'; when ye turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left." (Isaiah 30:21 KJV)
