BE GENTLE, ALL ARE FRAIL!

To have a gentleness of spirit when faced with weakness and frailty, is a sign of true inner peace. We all have weaknesses. We all fail, at times, and are so relieved when others accept us and don’t condemn us for our short-comings.

So, when are we not gentle?
When do we fail to accept failures and disappointments?
When, and why do we become hard?

Could it be, we have forgotten the value and power of gentleness? How important a gentle word can be? How inspiring, a gentle thought.

Let us allow ourselves this precious gift of gentleness and we will be transformed into a person centred in peace and tranquillity, with inner strength to deal with the short-comings of life.

As the greatest of Teachers has taught us, ‘Learn of Me, for I am meek and gentle of heart.
