THE GENTLENESS OF GOD
He will not break a bruised reed or extinguish a smoldering wick, until He brings justice to victory. Matthew 12:20
Take my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:29
40 Now a leper came to Him and fell to his knees, asking for help. “If You are willing, You can make me clean,” he said. 41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean!” 42 The leprosy left him at once, and he was clean. Mark 1:40–42
25 Now a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years.26 She had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet instead of getting better, she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His cloak,28 for she kept saying, “If only I touch His clothes, I will be healed.”29 At once the bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 Jesus knew at once that power had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?” 31 His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing against you and you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ” 32 But He looked around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” Mark 5:25–34
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5
76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High. For you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways, 77 to give His people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins. 78 Because of our God’s tender mercy the dawn will break upon us from on high 79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” Luke 1:76–79
4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: 5 “Tell the people of Zion, ‘Look, your king is coming to you, unassuming and seated on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ” Matthew 21:4–5
Now I, Paul, appeal to you personally by the meekness and gentleness of Christ (I who am meek when present among you, but am full of courage toward you when away!)— 2 Corinthians 10:1
He is able to deal compassionately with those who are ignorant and erring, since He also is subject to weakness, Hebrews 5:2
18 For this reason the Lord is ready to show you mercy; He sits on His throne, ready to have compassion on you. Indeed, the Lord is a just God; all who wait for Him in faith will be blessed. 19 For people will live in Zion; in Jerusalem you will weep no more. When He hears your cry of despair, He will indeed show you mercy; when He hears it, He will respond to you. Isaiah 30:18–19
1 “Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God. 2 “Speak kindly to Jerusalem, and tell her that her time of warfare is over, that her punishment is completed. For the Lord has made her pay double for all her sins.” Isaiah 40:1–2
Like a shepherd He tends His flock; He gathers up the lambs with His arm; He carries them close to His heart; He leads the ewes along. Isaiah 40:11
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds me; And Your gentleness makes me great. Psalm 18:35
11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord. Look, the Lord is ready to pass by.” A very powerful wind went before the Lord, digging into the mountain and causing landslides, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the windstorm there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake, there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a soft whisper.13 When Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his robe and went out and stood at the entrance to the cave. All of a sudden a voice asked him, “Why are you here, Elijah?” 1 Kings 19:11–13
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22–23
