Let Your Gentleness Be Known to All

📝Reflection

The Greek epieikes means "a generosity that does not press every point by the letter but weighs the situation and knows when to yield." Paul says let this gentleness be known not to a few but to "all people." We are easily generous to those we like and harsh to those we dislike. But real gentleness does not sort people. I often caught myself being gracious only to those who were good to me. A quality that does not change with whom you face—that is a person's true character.
