Gracious Gentleness

“This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.” ‭‭Titus‬ ‭3:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/114/tit.3.8.nkjv Effective management of goods and services requires just a straight honesty, especially when the dynamics of human resources are not included.

Gracious Attitude

"This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works.

Unlike actions that are influenced by the attitude of people, only actions that are packaged as gratitude to God's goodness are profitable to all men. Human world is turned paradise, whenever glorious altitude is attained with gracious attitude.
