“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing so gentle as real strength.” –Frances de Sales
We’re often told we must “be strong” especially in times of trouble. But it’s important to remember that being strong and being tough are not one in the same. Strength is a quiet, self-assured quality. It requires the ability to remain still while others about you are fighting it out. Their fight could be with or about you or their own insecurities. No matter the cause, your strength should remain a steady, silent force - a gentle flame that never flickers.
*Be gentle and use a light touch. When others are upset, maintain your composure. Prayerfully, they will absorb your quiet strength and be better equipped to carry on.
*When confronting difficult situations and people, resist the urge to make rash decisions. Instead, take a moment to be still and go inside yourself. Reconnecting with your inner calm will give you the strength you need to get through.
