Waypoint 3 · Gentleness, patience, strength under control
The Quiet Path
“Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.”Read Matthew 5:5 in context
Where this sits
Gentleness in Jesus' teaching is not weakness. It is strength that chooses restraint.
How Jesus taught and lived it
Jesus described Himself as gentle and humble in heart, and invited the weary to learn from Him.
A question to sit with
Where are you tempted to force something that needs patience?
An optional prayer
Jesus, teach me the strength that does not need to shout. Make me patient without going numb.
