gentle

i'm going to bed so why am i starting a new post, you may be wondering. i just wanted to say what i learned today.  i learned that God really is love in a really real truly true concrete love in small and big ways kind of way. he is gentle.  really really truly true meaningfully gentle and kind. a pure gentleness.  i'm just grateful, you know?  i don't know if i've ever felt that kind of pure gentleness before.  one of the things this tells me is: i'm worth this kind of love and treatment.  we all are.  he thinks so.  i'm going to really try to be more gentle and kind.  i deserve gentleness from myself too.  you do too.

The Gentle Christ by Del Parson.  i found this painting when googling 'gentle'.  :)  ok now i'm really going to bed.  night.

I always liked that song "Gentle" by michael mclean, because I think that we do forget to be gentle with ourselves.
