The Strength of Gentleness
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.—Matthew 5:5 (ESV)
Turn from evil and do good.—Psalm 34:14 (NIV)
When something bad happens, do you complain, dwell on the past and spread negativity? This Scripture tells us to do the opposite; not just to turn away from evil, but to do good. When you encounter anger, jealousy or hatred strive to make things better. Bring love and understanding to the problem.
Lord, restore me with Your peace. When I’m on the edge of losing my temper, give me the patience and foresight to return good for evil.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.—Matthew 5:5 (ESV)

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.—Hebrews 10:24 (ESV)

The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body.—James 3:6 (NIV)
