<p>&quot;Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me — for I am <strong>gentle </strong>and humble in heart.&quot; Matthew 11:29 <br />
<br />
There are some Christians who seem never to have learned <em>love's secret of gentleness</em>. There is nothing that this sad, sorrowing, sinning world needs — more than gentleness; like that of Him of whom it is written, that He would not break a bruised reed. We need to pray for<strong> the grace of gentleness</strong> that we may walk softly among men, never hurting another life by harsh word or ungentle act.<br />
<br />
&quot;We were <strong>gentle </strong>among you, like a mother caring for her little children.&quot; 1 Thessalonians 2:7 <br />
<br />
&quot;Be completely humble and <strong>gentle</strong>; be patient, bearing with one another in love.&quot; Ephesians 4:2
