The Strength of Gentleness
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.—Matthew 5:5 (ESV)
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.—2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV)
Elizabeth Elliot wrote, “Repeatedly throughout our lives we encounter the roadblock of suffering. What do we do with it? Our answer will determine what we can say to another who needs comfort.” When you are in pain, allow Jesus to comfort you so that you may extend His comfort to others.
Dear Lord, guide me to see the good in my situation. Help me to heal so that I may help another in need.

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)
