Gentleman...gentleness!

“Gentleness…”  I didn’t see it displayed much by the male influences in my life growing up.  Yet, I believe it is one of Christ’s greatest attributes.  I believe there are some who mistakenly associate “gentleness” with “weakness,” nothing could be further from the truth.  In fact, a gentleman is just that…gentle.  He moves through the world with an eye out for others and is keenly aware of his own mistakes.  Practically speaking, he opens a door for others to walk through first, he offers his umbrella to another for shelter from rain, he respects the rules and authority wherever he is,  he is the first to offer his seat to those standing, and shows respect and honor to those his senior.  Moreover, he gives a voice to the voiceless, and administers justice in an equitable way.  However, this gentleman is not above his own standards…in fact, he leads by example.  Even in conflict, he shows respect to whoever is contrary,  he is quick to listen and slow to anger.  This gentleman is so keenly aware of his surroundings, his own condition, and shortcomings… that he responds to those around him with gentleness and empathy.  How? He is captured by God’s grace and mercy in his own life, Hebrews 5:2 “ …and is able to deal gently with the ignorant and wayward people because he himself is subject to the same weaknesses. “When I find myself impatient, frustrated and mad at someone who has let me down…may I remember my own frail condition so that my first response will be gentleness to others.  Thanks for letting me share.  Randy Young
