When my courage and energy seem to be in short supply, this is the time I need to be sensitive to the gentlest of sounds and thoughts and feelings.

The balmy breeze, not the howling wind, refreshes me. The peaceful thoughts I think are the ones that calm me and allow me to function best. The soft voice of encouragement I hear is His message of hope being whispered to me. And that whisper has the power of the Almighty behind it.

Out of those tender thoughts, feelings, sounds, and messages, I gain new purpose in living. I am the person I truly desire to be. He is gentle with me, and I am gentle with others. It is the power of the Almighty that I hear, touch, and feel as gentleness in my daily life.

 Love
