Paul speaks of his gentleness...
Paul speaks of his gentleness with the Thessalonians. Chinese author Elizabeth Comber has commented on the power of this trait: "There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness." Such sentiments were expressed early in the seventeenth century by the French Catholic saint Francis de Sales: "Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength." The Bible makes clear that God operates with this gentleness (Psalm 18:35). Of course we are not inclined to think of God this way.
