		<description>I agree with you.  Although gentleness may come more naturally to women (I am using generalization here), it doesn&#039;t mean God does not expect it from men as well.</description>

		<description>Love is the engine that move our inner attitudes and actions. When we talk about Love, we talk about God. With God in our lives, there is a noticeable change not only saw by us, the rest notices it which is admirable. Part of that change is being gentleness, but again loving and feeling loved is the beginning.</description>

		<description>Gentleness is the heart and soul of all wisdom! It&#039;s a part of being humble, I think.

This is a wonderful post. 

God bless.</description>

		<description>Well, hello ma&#039;am! I do hope you have been doing well!

I enjoyed reading your take on this quote. I must admit that I read this it quite differently. I guess that I should have gone back and read the entire devotional. My perception was not that ‘gentleness’ was a feminine only trait but that we women should embrace it more in this world that trains us to do otherwise. I read “and God made us distinctly different from men on purpose” as a statement in itself. But again, I did not read the devotional. 

With that said I completely agree with what you have written here about both genders being equally given the spirit of gentleness. You bring forth many good points. Jesus was a feminist in the defined sense of the word. I find some of today&#039;s self-proclaimed feminist try harder to be men rather than to be equal to them. There is a huge difference. Jesus&#039;s way is the right way. 

I&#039;m glad you posted today. Have a awesome week!</description>
