WALKING LIKE JESUS
But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
If we want to walk like Jesus, then we need to learn how to be gentle. Gentleness is an important quality to practice in our lives. It defuses conflict and disarms critics. It is persuasive and attractive. It communicates love.
“But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” (1 John 2:5-6)
The more gentle we become, the more Christlike we become. We can not just walk out our doors and force ourselves to be gentle.
“Come to Me, all you 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.” (Matthew 11:28-29)
We can not manufacture gentleness, because inside, we are still going to be under stress. It has to be an “inside” job. It has to be the fruit of the Holy Spirit inside us.
Jesus is gentle and humble. When we let Jesus share our burden, we will walk with Jesus in a close relationship with Him. We will learn how to be more gentle and humble, and Jesus will give us rest and peace, not stress and pressure.
How can you be more gentle today?
Heavenly Father, as Your Holy Spirit lives within me, and I obey, I know I will walk with a gentle and humble heart. I will seek Your will to be done, and I know You will give me rest and peace. I will follow You as You lead and guide me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
