Gentle Strength

 

“Nothing is so strong as gentleness,
nothing so gentle as real strength.”

Francis de Sales, 1567-1622

 

Never mistake gentleness for weakness. They are grounded in totally different places.

 


Good morning, Lord. You spoke the universe into being with words, and You could speak us out of existence in a flash. I cannot comprehend Your power, partly because You are so gentle with me. Thank You for grace and mercy, more than I deserve or understand.

I am wrapped in faithful kindness, gentle strength and everlasting goodness, thanks be to God!
