"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight."
1 Peter 3:3-4
I came across this passage in my devotions this morning. A gentle and quiet spirit... Do I have a gentle and quiet spirit?
I'm thinking about Daniel. He has a gentle and quiet spirit, and when you converse with him, you can just feel that he is genuine. A quiet spirit shows depth of thought and meaning. When I chatter a mile a minute, idle words can slip out so easily.
Do I come across to people as too care free? If my spirit is not gentle and quiet, I will seem flippant, and others will feel like I'm not being real.
I need to listen more than I talk, remember people and their names, and become involved in the things that they care about. Basically, I need to put other people first in all relationships and conversations.
A gentle and quiet spirit... This is what I wish to have.
