Gentleness

Every night as a team, we do a devotional. We are doing the fruits of the spirit. Tonight, Forest led the time. We turned off all the lights, except one flashlight, he turned on some music, and he read scripture about the Lord's gentleness. This was a wonderful time to stop and quiet ourselves before the Lord as we had an extremely busy day.

The scripture that spoke to me is Matt 11:28 where Jesus tells the people "come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest". I was able to stop, and hand over my burdens to the Lord, knowing that he will take care of me far better than I can. And since that time (about 2 hours ago), I have experienced the peace that surpasses all understanding.
