God is often portrayed as a loving father, and just like any good father, He is gentle with His children. He doesn’t want to see us suffer, and He will go to great lengths to comfort us in our time of need. Like Him, we should strive to be gentle as we go through our own lives and as we interact with the people around us. The Lord calls us to be gentle with one another, and with our own self.

When we are gentle, we are acting in accordance with God’s will for us. It can be easy to get caught up in the chaos of the world and forget that we are supposed to be caring and loving beings. But when we take the time to stop and be kind to someone else, we are reminded of our true nature. Gentleness can help us build strong relationships with others, and it can also make us feel calmer and more at peace within ourselves.

In a world that is full of violence and harshness, having a mild and calm perspective is an important virtue that all of us should uphold. Gentleness is often thought of as a weakness, but it actually takes a great deal of strength to truly be gentle.

If you’re an aggressive person, you need to read these bible verses:
