Gentle response...

Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone. Proverbs 25:15

There are many ways to be affective. Most of us are used to being loud and impatient. Being loud and impatient causes many problems. We say things we shouldn't say, we add more problems and chaos to the situation and we damage relationships. Maybe there is another way to be affective without causing more problems. Being patient will help you give a gentle answer at the right time. Patience shows confidence and respect. Answering someone with gentleness and confidence is more impactful than being loud and obnoxious. Hearts are more open to a gentle and confident approach. Hearts are closed and defensive to a loud and proud approach. May we learn to respond to life situations with patience and a gentleness. #timetochange #lifeundertheson
