🌸 Cultivating GENTLENESS: reflecting God’s love with a tender heart

exploring gentleness in art, music, baking, and our hearts

The world often tells us that strength means being bold, loud, or in control. But Scripture shows us a different kind of strength—the quiet power of gentleness. Gentleness isn’t weakness; it’s a virtue that requires patience, self-control, and deep trust in God.

I’ve been noticing how often my instinctive reaction to conflict is frustration instead of softness, sharp words instead of understanding. But when I look to Jesus, I see a different way—one that invites peace instead of tension, kindness instead of defensiveness.

This week, I’m sharing a classic work of art, reflection questions, phone wallpaper, a gentle song, and a warm coffee cake to encourage us as we reflect on what it means to cultivate true gentleness—the kind that draws others to Christ and allows his love to shine through us. How can we practice this quiet strength in our daily lives?
