But let it be the hidden person of the heart,
with the imperishable quality of a
gentle and quiet spirit,
which is precious in the sight of God.
The A Gentle and Quiet Spirit lesson lead me to think of when I was gentle and quiet and how things where different when I became like the world learns us. And I'm glad that my Beloved change me and put a gentle and quiet spirit in me.
When there where talked to much things where said that mustn't have been said. And worse while anger or negative emotions are felt. I have learned when I speak gentle with love to someone that it also calms them and to be quiet is better then to say to much. And it helps to avoid a fight. A Gentle and Quiet Spirit is called weak, I know when I'm weak I'm stronger with the Lord with me. And a gentle and quiet spirit women is precious for the Lord.
If you want to teach your daughter, or any younger women, to be gentle and quiet spirit, please read Chapter 3 A Gentle and Quiet Spirit. I also found that I learned so much from these lessons, gaining more wisdom to be a Wise Woman.

Chapter 3 A Gentle and Quiet Spirit
Hello kristy
During the whole week I sulk but I give thanks to God when I go over my lessons… And today the devotional slammed me…
While my EH was leaving he asked me to retrieve certain documents my inner voice said that he should go and retrieve his documents he has the car and I have to deal with the rain and the bus… And then click the devotional for me comes back to mind I tell him “Yes I will” and then he says can you give me credit on the phone my mouth opened to say “Yes” not another word.
I just tell him “yes to everything he asks me” without contesting or trying to understand or ask questions. Sometimes it’s better to be silent than to respond… And if it was Jesus who What would he have done? I don’t think he would have said, manage yourself, I don’t have time…
He often changes his schedule…
Jairus’ daughter
The death of Lazarus
The multiplication
Or he says go to the other side, I’ll join you…
Hmmm let’s also change our schedules for something else.
Thanks Kristy
thank you Kateleen yes it helps when we think like what would Jesus done. I also find that this week there where times that I this want to say things but instead I pray and ask the Lord and tell Him. and I’m glad that the Lord have keep me quiet the times that I wanted to say things .
Thank you for sharing, Kristy.
Our Beloved is truly disciplining us all to become gentle and quiet in spirit, and I can see the changes in the women close to me. And yes, I agree. Doing these lessons, we are teaching those around us without even knowing it.
My prayer today is that every woman would have a gentle and quiet spirit.
“And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. And beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.” Col. 3:12-14
Thank you for sharing precious Kristy. I too learn so much from all these lessons, I wish I had learned them sooner in my life.
I am also on that journey of saying nothing and being quite is much better. I am so grateful for what our Darling Lord is teaching us.
