Proverbs 15:4
A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
Maybe you’ve seen an angry, rude person soften into a kind, considerate one when the person they’re speaking to responds with gentle, kind words. That’s because gentleness is like a weapon that doesn’t break its enemies—it disarms them and gives them life instead.

Titus 3:2
…to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.
If you live like Paul encourages, you might find yourself not opening your mouth as often—and that’s a good thing! He reminds us to use our words wisely to avoid the hurts and hang-ups that trip up most relationships. And when you can use gentle words, it usually leads to peace.

Matthew 11:28-30
Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
If you saw someone carrying a heavy load, you’d probably offer to help. That’s exactly what Jesus wants to do for you today—give you a chance to exchange your heavy burden for His light one. A chance to find true rest while He does the heavy lifting.

Philippians 4:5
Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand.
If you’ve ever driven during rush hour, you know gentleness isn’t exactly a popular character trait. But Paul says it’s one that should continue to grow in us. Because when you can choose gentleness instead of anger, you become someone people feel safe around.

1 Peter 3:15
But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.
It’s easy to think “defending your faith” means arguing or proving someone wrong. But Peter says there’s a better way to do it… with gentleness and respect. Because when we can respond with grace instead of pride, a listening ear instead of a lecture–people will see something different, and they’ll want to know why.

1 Corinthians 1:9
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
It’s crazy to think that you were called into a relationship with Jesus. It didn’t just happen; you didn’t just get lucky. God Himself drew you into fellowship with His Son, and it wasn’t because you did everything right, but because He is a faithful Father.
