"Be Gentle"  Colossians 1:5 "Let your gentle spirit be known to all men." This encouragement from Paul is a call to action, not words. Everybody ought to be able to see by our words and actions that we are gentle, so we don't need to say anything about it. Our reputation should be one of gentleness. We often tell children to be gentle... with babies, with friends, with the elderly, with animals, with nature, with toys, with all things breakable. We learn to be gentle. How to softly touch, softly speak. Gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit. Evidence of the presence and working of the Holy Spirit. That Spirit is in us who believe and have received. We just need to consider that before we speak and act. I pray we will be known by this and that He will be glorified by that. Gently, Pastor Fred
