Think gentleness is the same as weakness?
THINK AGAIN.
Jesus is called the Lion of Judah and the Lamb of God, and somehow, the gentleness of the Lamb does not negate the power of the Lion. Gentleness is the radical cousin of kindness, and can only be done by someone strong. A baby cannot be gentle, but a giant can. The more power someone has, the more radical gentleness becomes.
In a world of outrage and hate, where everyone chooses sides and camps and opinions and fires shots at anyone with an opposing view, we may think that Christians can’t afford to look weak. But the Christian response is NOT picking more sides and firing more shots. It’s in the words of Christ, Paul, and many other Biblical writers: laying down our lives, loving our enemies, and picking up our cross. Because of the radical gentleness of Christ, we are equipped to respond to our own enemies with gentleness.
Ready to discover the surprising strength of gentleness?
Christian women need to know that Jesus was the ultimate gentle answer that turned away wrath, and that because of his sacrifice and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we also have the power to live out these words.
In this 30-day devotional for women, we’ll uncover what gentleness is (and isn’t), what God’s gentleness looks like, and how we can actually grow in this fruit of the Spirit.

I’m a writer, speaker, and former Children’s Ministry Director with over a decade of ministry leadership experience. I create books and resources for kids and parents to help families cultivate faith-filled moments.
When Million Praying Moms approached me about writing an Everyday Prayers book, I jumped at the chance to write one on the topic of gentleness, as it was something I wanted to explore more after writing my family devotional, Fruit Full.
I homeschool my three sons, which keeps me growing in gentleness as I also re-learn middle school math and high school chemistry. I live with my husband and three boys in Alberta, Canada.
