Gentle Parenting vs. Parenting with Christ-like Gentleness

It's the same gentleness Jesus showed to the woman at the well and to Zacchaeus — he met them with kindness AND pointed them toward life change.

That's the kind of gentle parenting we actually want. The kind that comes from God's power, not our own exhausted efforts.

And the good news? When we ask God to help us grow in it — that's exactly the kind of prayer he loves to answer. 

Reference: Ephesians 6:4

Prayer: Father, help me not to exempt gentleness from my parenting because of a trendy parenting philosophy. Help me to seek your word to understand what biblical gentleness is and how to bring Christ-like gentleness into the way I parent. In Jesus' name, Amen.
