To bear the fruit of gentleness is to behave as Jesus did with the sinful woman in Luke 7:36-50. It's when we care enough not to be harsh, rash, angry, or rough. Consider how we handle a fresh egg in the palm of our hand, or a newborn baby in our arms, or a butterfly on our hand. We have the power to crush those things in our natural strength but, instead, we handle those things with the utmost care and grace. How much more as Christians should we deal with others with the same gentleness.
