The Need for Gentleness
2 Samuel 22:36
You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.


When a candle is newly lighted and needs to be moved, it must be carried at a slow pace or it will be extinguished. A fire which is almost expiring may be revived by a gentle breath, but it will be blown out if the bellows are plied at their full force. You can drown a. little plant by watering it too much, and destroy a lovely flower by exposing it to too much sun.
