King James Version
29 Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light.
Do you know of a gentler time in your life?
When everything seemed right, felt right, and was right?
There was a time, man experienced that.
That was the time GOD walked with Adam.
Genesis 3:8-9
King James Version
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God
walking in the garden in the cool of the day:
and Adam and his wife hid themselves
from the presence of the Lord God
amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam,
and said unto him, Where art thou?
Imagine, GOD walking with man!
They were in the same garden of Eden.
Can we get back to a time like that?
Where love was, in a gentler time?
Only through JESUS can we do so.
Because JESUS was loving, gentle, and compassionate.
Here's what gentleness means:
Psalm 18:35
King James Version
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:
and thy right hand hath holden me up,
and thy gentleness hath made me great.
Psalm 116:5
King James Version
5 Gracious is the Lord,
and righteous;
yea, our God is merciful.
Proverbs 15:1
King James Version
15 A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up anger.
Proverbs 25:15
King James Version
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded,
and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
Isaiah 40:11
King James Version
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:
he shall gather the lambs with his arm,
and carry them in his bosom,
and shall gently lead those that are with young.
Isaiah 53:2
King James Version
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Isaiah 53:7
King James Version
7 He was oppressed,
and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth:
he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.
Isaiah 53:9
King James Version
9 And he made his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth.

for they shall inherit the earth.

that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophet,
saying,

Behold,
thy King cometh unto thee,
meek, and sitting upon an ass,
and a colt the foal of an ass.
John 13:34

that ye also love one another.

whatsoever I have said unto you.

my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth,
give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
Romans 12:10
King James Version
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another
with brotherly love;
in honour preferring one another;
1 Corinthians 13:1-9
King James Version
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
and have not charity,
I am become as sounding brass,
or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy,
and understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge;
and though I have all faith,
so that I could remove mountains,
and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be burned,
and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long,
and is kind;
charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself,
is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own,
is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity,
but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things,
believeth all things,
hopeth all things,
endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth:
but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;
whether there be tongues, they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part,
and we prophesy in part.
1 Corinthians 16:14
King James Version
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
2 Corinthians 10:1
King James Version
10 Now I Paul myself beseech you
by the meekness and gentleness of Christ,
who in presence am base among you,
but being absent am bold toward you:
Galatians 5:22-23
King James Version
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.
Galatians 6:1-2
King James Version
6 Brethren,
if a man be overtaken in a fault,
ye which are spiritual,
restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;
considering thyself,
lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another's burdens,
and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Ephesians 4:1-3
King James Version
4 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord,
beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation
wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness,
with longsuffering,
forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit
in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:24
King James Version
24 And that ye put on the new man,
which after God is created in righteousness
and true holiness.

tenderhearted,
forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Colossians 3:12-17
King James Version
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God,
holy and beloved,
bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind,
meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another,
and forgiving one another,
if any man have a quarrel against any:
even as Christ forgave you,
so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity,
which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are called in one body;
and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
1 Thessalonians 2:4-8
King James Version
4 But as we were allowed of God
to be put in trust with the gospel,
even so we speak;
not as pleasing men,
but God, which trieth our hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words,
as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness;
God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory,
neither of you, nor yet of others,
when we might have been burdensome,
as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you,
even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of you,
we were willing to have imparted unto you,
not the gospel of God only,
but also our own souls,
because ye were dear unto us.
1 Timothy 6:11
King James Version
11 But thou,
O man of God,
flee these things;
and follow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

King James Version

but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 2:24-26
King James Version
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive;
but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God peradventure will give them repentance
to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves
out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.
Titus 3:1-6
King James Version
3 Put them in mind
to be subject to principalities and powers,
to obey magistrates,
to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man,
to be no brawlers,
but gentle,
shewing all meekness unto all men.
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish,
disobedient, deceived,
serving divers lusts and pleasures,
living in malice and envy,
hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love
of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to his mercy he saved us,
by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
James 1:17
King James Version
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning.
James 1:18-19
King James Version
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,
that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren,
let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak,
slow to wrath:
James 3:17-18
King James Version
17 But the wisdom that is from above
is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle,
and easy to be intreated,
full of mercy and good fruits,
without partiality,
and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness
is sown in peace of them that make peace.
1 Peter 3:3-4
King James Version
3 Whose adorning let it not be
that outward adorning of plaiting the hair,
and of wearing of gold,
or of putting on of apparel;
4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart,
in that which is not corruptible,
even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price.
1 Peter 3:15-17
King James Version
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to every man
that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you
with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that,
whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers,
they may be ashamed that falsely accuse
your good conversation in Christ.
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so,
that ye suffer for well doing,
than for evil doing.
1 Peter 4:8
King James Version
8 And above all things
have fervent charity among yourselves:
for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1 John 4:7-11
King James Version
7 Beloved,
let us love one another:
for love is of God;
and every one that loveth is born of God,
and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God;
for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us,
because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love,
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us,
and sent his Son
to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved,
if God so loved us,
we ought also to love one another.
1 John 4:18
King James Version
18 There is no fear in love;
but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment.
He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:19
King James Version
19 We love him,
because he first loved us.
