Hey friends, welcome back to the Ruth Jo Simons podcast.

We are in our summer series on the Fruit of the Spirit.

And today we're going to talk about gentleness.

This summer series has been all about helping us focus on the fruit that we can't just produce on our own.

It's a series where just for a few minutes, I'm

going to talk about one aspect of the fruit of the spirit from Galatians 522. Let me just read

that for us real quick. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Against such things, there is no law.

As you can tell, we are on the last two of the series.

So if you haven't started from the beginning, it's not too late.

Go back to the beginning.

Start with love.

Follow the journey as we get to today's, which is gentleness. I'm fascinated with this particular aspect of the

fruit of the spirit because I have never concerned myself a very gentle person. Now, when I meet you

all, you tend to tell me things like, oh, Ruth,

your voice is so gentle. It lulls me to sleep, which I'm like, thank you. Thank you. If you're

driving, please keep your eyes open. Or sometimes people will be like, oh, you're so, so, so gentle.

Do you ever raise your voice to your kids?

This is the moment where I wish the camera could like zoom in and look at my eyeballs.

Yeah.

Yes.
