A Hidden Powerhouse

The fruit of the spirit called meekness and gentleness might be considered the underdogs but they definitely are a necessary part for a complete representation of God in this earth. 

Meekness does not mean weakness.  It's a humble heart that has a teachable spirit. This is a necessary skill to continue to become more like God. 

Jesus was our example as he humbled himself and gave his life even when he could have changed his mind. 

The meek shall inherit the earth; those that produce this fruit become the ones that God can trust with his creation. 

Gentleness is moving within your ability with precision.  God is giving us power and gentleness is the ability to apply that strength and power with a delicate touch that allows for the nurturing that is needed. 

In Philippians it says let your gentleness be evident to all the Lord is near. 

This is a demonstration of God in the flesh. 

Gentleness = A long-term answer with long-term results. 

Anger or force = A short-term answer with short-term results and long-term side effects. 

Manipulation = A short-term answer that will require repeat applications to achieve results. 

Gentleness and meekness is a hidden powerhouse in the fruit of the spirit of God.
