Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.

God doesn't ask for much, but he does ask for us to rejoice in His name, and give Him thanks no matter what we're going through. We're all going to have struggles. Right now, I'm working toward a degree in dietetics, and everything I've completed in the past four/five years has led up to an internship. My classmates are stressed beyond belief, but I'm trying to stay calm and give God the rejoice and thanksgiving He deserves. We rejoice in all aspects of our lives - our actions, our relationships, our thoughts.
I'm working toward being gentle to everyone. Obviously, some people are easy to be gentle toward, but God rejoices over us when He sees us being gentle to everyone - especially those who make it a little more difficult. They are still children of God, and we are still called to share the gospel with them in a gentle manner.
