A Princess of Grace is gentle.
Gentleness is love in action.
Gentleness is love in action - being considerate, meeting the needs of others, allowing time for the other person to talk, and being willing to learn.
Gentleness comes from a state of humility. Someone who lacks gentleness is often prideful and easily angered, and harsh, and feels the need to return a tooth for a tooth.
A gentle person is someone who is calm and rational in a state of anger.
What's the difference between gentleness and kindness?
Gentleness is how one goes about action. Kindness is about what actions one takes and why.
One who is gentle strives in all they do to be harmless, to not hurt the other. To have a soft spirit.
Everyone is guilty of sinning and making mistakes, and that gentleness and compassion will always be the best response to any situation.
A gentle person learns to reserve judgment.
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewellery and fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear." - 1 Peter 3:3-6
Being gentle and quiet in spirit really just means being obedient to God and His Word. If we are seeking the Lord above all else, our spirits will become gentler and quieter, keeping peace with everyone and we will become more and more beautiful in God's sight.
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." - Proverbs 18:21
"生 死 在 舌 头 的 权 下 ， 喜 爱 他 的 ， 必 吃 他 所 结 的 果 子。" - 箴 言 18:21
Dear God, in our marriage and family, help me to strive towards being a Princess of Grace, to develop a spirit of gentleness in our daily life, to be conscious of my words, to speak words that bring life and not death.
