Gentle Strength

"I am gentle. That is my strength." Love, Bobbie Jo

This message poured into my heart the other day when I was feeling ‘less than.’

My ‘not enough-ness’ was triggered.

Yet, in all the ways I wasn’t measuring up, I saw the ways in which I was.

So often in this world strength is attributed to our physical capabilities, working hard, pushing through, getting it done, making it happen, no matter what the cost.

Yet we forget the value of the feminine. The nurturing. The softness.

Yes we need both the masculine and the feminine, but let us not forget there is deep value in both.

Know your soft gentleness is also strong, and much needed in this world.
