CSG ~ Fruit of the Spirit, #7 Gentleness

This is the seventh in the series based on the Fruit of the Spirit. The seventh "fruit" that we will be discussing will be gentleness.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Gentleness is the character that will show calmness, personal care, tenderness and the Love of Christ in meeting the needs of others. It is to be more than just a personality; it is to be who we are from the work of the Sprit within us.

Roughness and violence are the opposite! When we have the mindset to just see what we can get out of life and make a name for ourselves we miss out on what is best for our benefit. Then it causes us to run over others and we end up being like the men who built the Tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1-9). Their downfall was not the building project but the pride and arrogance. To seek significance outside of glorifying God by their achievements alone, ignoring God's love, care, plan, and providence for a cheap and temporary substitute.

For this swap, you will be making a profile comment to your ONE partner of what gentleness means to you. You also need to include a scripture and how the scripture applies to your life. Please do not use Galatians 5:22-23 as your scripture.

Let me summarize:

1.One partner.

2.What gentleness means to you.

3.A scripture on gentleness.

4.How the scripture applies to your life.

Please remember to write the title of the swap and the group with your comment. This will make it easier for your partner to rate the swap.

Only people with well filled out profiles may participate in this swap. I will be checking the night before partners get assigned. Be sure to rate your partner a 5 if they meet all the requirements of this swap. If you liked what they sent you, give them a heart. It's entirely up to you. Please send something that you would like to receive yourself.

This swap is NOT profile based.

Any problems, feel free to contact me.
