Gentleness. It's a strength not a weakness

I read somewhere recently a quote, but I am not sure who wrote it nor the exact words, but here is what I remember:

There is gentleness in strength and strength in gentleness.

I have reflected on this quote over and over, and for days. I knew that the Lord was speaking to my heart, and early this morning I had this wonderful revelation that I will share with you.

My beloved is a gentleman! He is kind and thoughful but the thing that makes him so special to me is that he is gentle! He talks with gentleness, he touches me with gentleness, he prays with a gentleness, yet with such strength!

In the past I would have been intimidated by 'gentle' men as I would have percieved them as passive and weak. That kind of thinking has come about from some bad experiences, and had my thought pattern had been altered somewhat. Yet when the Lord put me and my Beloved together He really knew what He was doing! I see my Beloved as a pillar of strength but it's not in an arrogant or proud way like what I have been used to in the past. His gentleness really is his strength, woa mmmm!!

Let your gentleness be evident to all men. Phillipians 4:5

Recently I came across this scripture above and it spoke deep to my heart, and the Lord confirmed in my spirit that my Beloved is a beautiful creation, made in God's image, strong yet gentle at the same time, but never forceful. He was handpicked with his nature as a gift to me from our Lord because He knew that I needed someone who was gentle and the Lord could use him to bring more healing into my life and continue the renewing of my mind.

I think it takes more courage for a man to remain gentle and calm than it does for him to rise up and get worked up over things.

How the Lord has changed me in this area. Thankyou Lord for changing my heart and preparing me to love this man you have blessed me with, and with all my heart. Thankyou Beloved for being 'you' and loving me the way you do. Don't ever change! I love you Babe just the way God made you!
The body of Christ is like a patchwork quilt! All stitched together with God's love.
