A Good Father Is Gentle With His Children.

Gentle , yet powerfull...
Is It Weak To Be Gentle ?

" A slave of the Lord does not need to fight,
but needs to be gentle to all. "
{ 2 Timothy 2:24 }

Long before we are born, our developing skin becomes sensitive to touch.
From birth we crave our mother's tender caress.

During childhood our tendency to smile, our ability to develop emotionally,
and even our desire to master communication skills are influenced by the amount of affection we receive from our parents..

The Bible foretold, however that during the last days,
people would be " disobedient to parents , unthankful, disloyal,
haveing no natural affection."

Gentle qualities such as kindness and compassion would be sorely lacking,
since men would be " lovers of themselves " and "fierce,
without love of goodness.. "
{ 2 Timothy 3:1-3 }

Many today feel a need to be tough and emotionally callous.
They claim that being gental is a sign of weakness.
But is it ?
