I really find that Gentleness is really important,
okay maybe im saying this cause I feel like sometimes people are too selfish with their gentleness?
I mean i was talking with my sister about thoughts and my follow up yesterday
which brings me to the point of gentleness
"Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand." - Philippians 4:5
Maybe towards strangers, people you'll only meet once you can afford to be gentle, but once you're close to that person, that doesn't mean that u can be any less gentle with yours words.
Well, yeah, you are closer to that person you may have the privilege of calling her names and making fun of her and on both sides, both have mutual understanding of the situation.
But sometimes, I don't know, I feel like people lose the respect for their close friends, and ignores about being gentle to them when people are too warmed up with one another.. and that sucks.. a lot.
like maybe between married couples, the guy may have lost his initial gentleness to his spouse just because they are married and both are bound. and that's really sad, where did the respect and cherishing of that partner go? or were your Gentleness fake and insincere? not genuine
and I see that in many many relationships, and that is one of the most common problems that leads to unnecessary fights, bickers and conflicts. People, the forgot to be gentle.
They take things for granted. Don't count their blessings. Forget thank, getting to comfortable with where they are at.
Yet at the same time I know that u still have to stay firm, a balance on both no?
Being firm isn't so much about being oversensitive about everything,
it just means to draw a reasonable line and standing your ground
being firm doesn't mean ignoring, it's more about being open to opinions and understanding but doing what you know is morally right..
Being firm doesn't mean not being gentle
Being firm never means being harsh
Firm isn't the opposite of Gentle
You can be firm yet gentle,
Sturdy :)
Like a person holding onto a newly born child,
holding it firmly so they wouldn't lose hold of it or drop it
but at the same time, gentle so they wont hurt the child
they wont bruise the child
Because that person is dear to you,
so you'll be firm and gentle towards them
It's just a reminder, because it's so easy for people to be harsh cus it comes easily , from worry, anxiety
so easy for people to be "firm"
yet they forget to gentle.
But im not saying that everybody is like that, ive got friends who are ever so gentle, ALWAYS.
and it's such a comfort to have them :)
smile more guys, that's one way to stir up gentleness
Tied plaits today aahahah see you around!
