Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the

earth.

Matthew 5 v 5

Gentleness/ meekness is power under control. “It isn’t stress that kills us, it’s our reaction to it” Higher/lower technique: anger, loudness was met with quiet & peace Mirror neurons: when faced with anger, we tend to respond with anger. How easy is this?

God blesses those who are gentle. The whole earth

will belong to them!

Matthew 5 v 5

We respond gently when evil things are said about us.

1 Corinthians 4 v 13

In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching

show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be

condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have

nothing bad to say about us. Titus 2 v 8

Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of my

life, the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be all right, and the determined choice to praise God in all things. Kay Warren

• What have we held onto too tightly? • How can we invite grace into every

situation? • What do I need help with “letting go

& letting God?
