Study: Gentle

"Thy gentleness hath made me great" 2 Samuel 22:36

showing meekness, speaking evil of no man, apt to teach, patient, servant of the Lord,

• 2 Tim. 2:24 -- be gentle unto all men ... If we profess to be the servants of Christ, if we love Him as we say we do, if we remember Him as we've covenanted to do, we'll treat others with gentleness. I think it's a natural consequence of how true discipleship changes our hearts.
• James 3:17 -- I've been thinking about how and why the wisdom from above is gentle ... I think it's probably just because that's the only way it could be. It's the only thing that fits. Wisdom wouldn't be as wise if it didn't come gently.
• D&C 121:41 -- No power or influence should come without gentleness. I need to remember that in my mothering. I don't want my children to ever hear me raise my voice at them or treat them roughly. And I'm so grateful to have a husband who uses his priesthood gently. What a blessing that is to our home.
