Gentleness

Why is it so easy to lost our tempers but difficult to be gentle? So easy to be harsh and abrasive yet so difficult to be humble

Because anything worth having is worth fighting for? Possibly.

For me, I think it's more that one of my greatest sins is pride. If I were not so prideful I would not be so quick to be offended, judgemental or self seeking - to react in anger instead of acting in gentleness.

Why the pride? What false pretense am I trying to convince others about myself? What am I trying to prove to myself? That I'm enough? That I'm strong, secure and capable

I'm not. That security lies in Him alone.
