Living on Mission – His Gentleness and Our Salvation

Living on Mission – His Gentleness and Our Salvation

How I need your gentleness, Lord. You must produce it in me because it is not in my nature. My natural tendency is to anger/rage/wrath. You have every reason for anger and wrath and yet you choose gentleness. I’m amazed at your forbearance. You could so easily have chosen to wipe us all out and start over. You would have been perfectly justified in pouring out your wrath; but, your amazing love wouldn’t allow it. No, instead you chose – and continue to choose – to gently save us.

You set this plan in motion while you spread out the heavens. You knew what would need to be done to save us even while you were forming the earth. Before any of us took a breath, you provided for our redemption.

Help us remember. Help us give you the glory you deserve. Help us to live every day in light of your love and mercy. Help us recognize and appreciate this great salvation. Help us see the cross as the ultimate symbol of gentleness and reconciliation. Help us share this Good News with those around us.

Help us practice Living on Mission. Help us become reconcilers in the gentle way of Jesus.
