“Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.” Philippians 4:5 NIV
Famous could teach me a thing or two about gentleness. I am amazed by how little aggression is in his body. Even when he goes outside to bark at noisy crows, you wonder if he is just playing with them. He has always been submissive to anyone willing to offer him a belly rub, but now that he is an older dog, he will take a head scratch, a back rub, or a paw massage as long as it is being offered.
Paul tells us to be a little bit more like Famous in that we should not be selective in showing gentleness. It is intended towards everyone. We should be able to demonstrate the gentleness of Christ to friend and foe.
Help me to be unafraid to be gentle in spirit throughout the day.
