True strength is calm, steady, and rooted in grace. When we pause before reacting, we give God room to guide our words and shape our hearts. Gentleness becomes the quiet evidence of His strength working within us.

When our worth depends on success or approval, life becomes an exhausting emotional ride. As Neil T. Anderson reminds us in Victory Over the Darkness, real stability comes from walking by faith in God’s truth. When we renew our minds to His perspective, we discover lasting peace, purpose, and joy.
