I urge you to live worthy..Be completely humble and gentle (Ephesians 4:2)

Month of November: Life according to the command.  May God use this blog to bless your life with His Word.

"Humility is a virtue that was never known before Christ the Master; Christ introduced it as a basic element in the life of man who was depressed by arrogance.  Gentleness always follows and derives from humility; every humble one is gentle.  If humility is the virtue of deep inside, gentleness is the virtue that is manifested by dealing with people and God."
