YOUR GENTLENESS

There were some who misunderstood God terribly;

They imagined that He always speaks harshly.

Thus they kept their distance from God;

David chose to draw closer to the LORD.

 

Many attributes of God may be seen in His salvation;

His grace, mercy and love will stand out in contemplation.

With salvation, God also grants a protective shield;

Thus, to terror and dismay, we do not have to yield.

 

The gentleness of God is often not appreciated;

His kindness and love are to be truly treasured.

God, as our Father in Heaven, is gentle to His children;

The mature will understand this through eyes of wisdom.

 

If God had dealt with us according to our sins;

We would have perished, without and within.

Let us take time to appreciate God’s gentleness;

This understanding will lead to blessedness.
