“. . . for I am gentle . . . ” Matthew 11.29
These simple words form the basis of our trust in coming to Jesus. When we approach him we will not be turned away, nor will he ridicule our needs. Rather, he will treat us with the gentleness that our hearts long for because he can do no other, since his nature is to be gentle. This means that when we come to him, we come before the personification of gentleness.
His gentleness with us should inspire our honesty as we need not try to hide anything from Jesus, nor be fearful that he will view us harshly. The reality is that he knows everything about us and is longing for us to bring all of ourselves to him. Nothing we share with him can shock him or change his attitude towards us.
Jesus’ gentleness should also inspire us to emulate him. We are disciples of the one who said that he was gentle, and this is what should define our dealings with others. How wonderful if we were known for our gentleness by those we come into contact with. Ask Jesus now to let his gentleness flow though you today.
