Meekness is not weakness
During the Revolutionary War at Valley Forge, a corporal was directing three men as they tried to lift a log into place. It was too heavy but the corporal commanded again and again, "All right, men, one, two, three, lift!" A man in an overcoat came by and said to the corporal, 'why don't you help them?' The corporal pulled himself into full height and replied, "Sir, I am a corporal." Without a word, the man stepped over and with his help the log went easily into place. The man was George Washington, the Commander in Chief of the armed Forces.
That was a extraordinary display of meekness.
To be meek means to be humble, modest, submissive. It means not to be arrogant.
Meekness is a virtue that everyone needs to possess. That you are meek doesn't mean you are weak, it is a strength of character. Meekness is opposed to violence, conflicts and anger. Meekness will make you have a gentle disposition. It will help you keep your cool even when you are being offended.
Being meek will make you to care about others rather your own self esteem. It entails behaving with goodness and kindness to others, showing serenity, self control and self worth.
Meekness is not weakness. Meekness is strength. It has softened hearts and toppled empires. It's a power that can't be countered. It is humility in its highest form.
Get the virtue of meekness today...
Shalom!!!
