Gentleness is one of the fruits of the spirit that I think gets overlooked a lot. Gentleness isn't weak like some people see it and it isn't submission. Gentleness isn't severe or harsh it's calm and caring.
Gentleness is a hard word to define I kept thinking, well it's being gentle and realizing that doesn't help me get to what it means at all. A lot of people don't really know what it means which makes it really hard to be gentle. Being gentle has nothing to do with you really; your needs, worries, and accomplishments all get pushed to the side when you're being gentle. Sometimes all a person needs are a few gentle words to get them back up again. In hard times calm, kind, gentle words can do so much more than we realize. They're encouraging and a lot of the time just what you need to hear. I have a hard time with gentleness because I can be pretty blunt especially when someone is going through a hard time, I tend to ask factual questions without any gentleness and it never makes the person feel better.
