Fruit of the Spirit: Gentleness
About Daisy
Daisy Deer is tenderhearted, observant, and thoughtful. She loves wandering through the flowers of Willow Orchard, noticing when someone needs encouragement, and finding quiet ways to make her friends feel cared for.
Daisy is learning that gentleness does not mean being weak. Gentleness is choosing to use our words, actions, and strength with kindness and care.
Growing in Gentleness
Gentleness is one of the beautiful qualities named in Galatians 5:22–23. It grows when we slow down, notice the people around us, and choose to respond with patience, kindness, and care.
Sometimes gentleness looks like speaking softly to someone who is upset, helping without rushing, handling something carefully, or choosing kind words when we could respond harshly.
Daisy is discovering that even the smallest gentle choice can help someone feel safe, loved, and valued.
