Subject: Free resources for June's character focus

This month's character focus is Gentleness: "Showing personal care & concern in meeting the needs of others"

This month, our character focus is Gentleness. The operational definition of gentleness is “showing personal care and concern in meeting the needs of others.”


Jesus is our Example of being gentle. Truly, Jesus was a “gentle man.” The term gentleman does not indicate weakness, but a strength that is disciplined. A gentleman behaves properly at all times.


A gentleman is kind, yet firm — comforting the downhearted and defending the weak. His speech is gracious, never demeaning, and his intention is to treat all with respect. A gentleman handles all things carefully, whether people, situations, or possessions. He is courteous and calm and discerns the needs of others. God enables us to be “gentle” — not “gentle as a kitten,” but gentle like Jesus!


As you experience the tenderness of God in your life, the more God enables you to gently minister to others for Him. “Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God” (II Cor. 1:4).


Here are some free resources to help your family study gentleness this month.
