Title: Devotional 7/20/11 2Timothy
Post by: ricky023 on July 20, 2011, 01:16:00 PM
"2Timothy A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient."

Earlier this year an Australian schoolgirl, wanting her classmates to attend her birthday party, invited them all via Facebook. She told them to get the word out and to bring friends. She even posted her address in the invitation. Her post went viral, and within 24 hours more than 20,000 people said they were coming. Then the number surged to 200,000. The party was quickly cancelled, police were stationed in the neighborhood on the day of the supposed party, and the girl's father cancelled her Facebook account.
Sooner or later, every youngster does something foolish. If you'll think back a little, you probably gave your folks a few gray hairs. We need to ask God for wisdom as we counsel, teach, correct, and advise our children. If you've ever been in a store and heard a child being scolded in a harsh way, you know that such words can wound. Children in a harsh and critical home may feel the sting all their lives. A wise parent must not quarrel but be gentle, able to teach, and patient.
Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing is so gentle as real strength.  God Bless!
