Improving your relationship with God - Two

2. Gentleness
Quietness, gentleness, calmness

How many times have you spoken negative words to God, to yourself or to someone. Even when God wants to bless you, you just go and say the negative-the bad word- you become impolite and rude to yourself. Many times we act like this when we have been waiting for an answer from God for a long time and along the way get discouraged.

Practise kindness, gentleness in the way you address yourself before God, before others. God will be pleased with the change in you and never forget to pray asking help you in this process. He does not want us to be rough, loud; but calm, gentle and just trust in Him and His ways.

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yours souls." Matthew 11:29

As we learn from God, He will give us the gentle spirit and we will have peace within ourselves.

"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect..." 1 Peter 3:15
As you improve ourselves, our relationship with God is renewed!
