On the heels of this post, The Importance of Patience in Apologetics, by Slim Jim, I want to add this:

“Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.” ~ Phil. 4:5

~ It takes strength to be gentle. In fact, it takes more strength to be gentle than to be rough, coarse, and arrogant.

Jim commented on Proverbs 25:15,

“Through patience a ruler may be persuaded,
And a gentle tongue breaks bone.“

~ So what this verse tells us is that gentleness is strength.

And yet it takes strength to be gentle.

Gentleness is actually a superpower.
