Words of Encouragement –Gentleness

Colossians 3:12-15

12 Since God chose you to be the holy people whom he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14 And the most important piece of clothing you must wear is love. Love is what binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace. And always be thankful. (NLT)

Since we have been called and chosen by God to be His holy people we must clothe ourselves with the characteristics of Jesus Christ. Put on tenderhearted mercy for those who are perishing and need Christ. Put on kindness to show the grace of Christ. Put on humility to show the arrogant the way of Christ. Put on gentleness to show the caring of Christ. Put on patience to show the endurance of Christ and bind them all together with Love so that Jesus is the ruler of your heart. Forgive as you have been forgiven and love as you have been loved by Christ.
