“Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.”
— Matthew 5:5 NASB1995
🐎 Strength Isn’t Always Loud
Let’s be real—online, the loudest and most aggressive people usually get the most attention. But Jesus flips that. He says the gentle are the ones who will inherit the earth.
Gentleness doesn’t mean you let people walk all over you. It means having strength, but keeping it under control. It’s choosing to walk away from drama. It’s staying kind when you’re misunderstood. It’s trusting God to fight for you instead of proving yourself online or in real life.
This kind of strength takes more courage than clapping back ever will.
🔊 Real Talk:
- When was the last time you had the chance to be gentle but chose to react instead?
- How do people online define strength—and how is that different from what Jesus says?
✨ Try This:
Think of one situation where you’ve been tempted to respond harshly (DMs, arguments, school stress). Write down what a gentle, Jesus-like response would look like. Practice it before the moment comes.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
