We all need a small inner circle of friends to vent with. Beyond that, I hope to understand the power of the spoken/written word. We have the power to uphold the gentleness of our Savior. It is in this act of being gentle with those who don’t deserve it that we embrace Christ’s gentle humility and develop strength. – Teresa #biteurlip #journalurturmoil #theallureofgentlenessbyDallasWillard

Proverbs 11:12-13 English Standard Version (ESV)

12 

Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense,

    but a man of understanding remains silent.

13 

Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets,

    but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.
