Praise Our GENTLE LORD

“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest  for your souls.””

Matthew 11:29

When you think of Jesus, do you think of Him as gentle? It is one of the ways He describes Him.  What does Christ mean when He says He is gentle?  Another word is meek. It’s often explained as “power under control.” Although I can’t fully understand this great combination of attributes, I see a glimpse of them in my husband. Keith has great strength of character; yet he stoops down to pick a tiny flower amidst a field of grass in order to gently hand it to me on our walks. More so with Christ. While holding infinite power, He offers us His gentle, humble heart where we find rest for our souls. He invites us to walk closely with Him and learn from Him.

Lord Jesus, You are both strong and GENTLE! We praise You!
