Make Waves Titus 3:2

VBS this week is learning to Make Waves (with orange/parent cue)

Read Titus 3:2

When you hear the word “weakness” what do you think about? Does this equation come to mind?

Gentleness = Weakness

Choosing to be gentle towards someone else isn’t a sign of weakness. Choosing to be gentle, to put others first, requires strength! It’s not easy to live humbly but when you do, you’re showing everyone around you just how strong you really are.

That’s why the following equation is more accurate . . .

Gentleness = Strength

Every time you are careful with your words and actions, you are showing gentleness. Every time you remain calm instead of blowing up when something frustrates you, you are being gentle with others. Gentleness is the biggest strength test ever.

And the best part is, you don’t have to do this on your own. God will help you. His strength and power are unlimited! Pray and ask God to help you have the strength to be gentle to everyone you meet this week.

Dear God, Give me strength to be gentle. Keep me calm when life gets tough. Help me show your love to others.  Amen
