Blessed are those who are humble,
those who are submissive and meek
those who give themselves to God
who’s will they obediently seek.
Blessed are those who are gentle,
those who are patient and tolerant
those who are rarely provoked
who are restrained and moderate.
Blessed are those who are tranquil,
those who are calm and serene
those who are unruffled and relaxed
who God’s peace they quietly glean.
Blessed are those who are gracious,
those who are forgiving and kind
those who are polite and respectful
who love with their whole heart and mind.
Blessed are those who are patient,
those who don’t grumble or complain
those who accept what God offers
who endure the good with the pain.
Blessed are those who are humble,
those who live under God’s control
the earth is theirs to inherit . . .
for they love Jesus with all of their soul!

for they shall
inherit the earth.”

Thank you for this beautiful poem. It is an explicit example of the virtue of meekness. I’m instructing a class on the Fruit of the Spirit. We’re now studying the virtue-meekness. I pray God’s richest blessing upon you and your ministry of exhortation.

What a beautiful poem sharing about meekness! I think too often we see meek as weak, but that’s not really true. I heard a definition of meekness as enduring pain and wrong without resentment or bitterness. That is certainly not being weak! God bless you, Deborah!

You are so right ~ meek is not being weak. It is being strong enough to know our lowly state and how much we need to depend on the Lord’s strength in all things. Being meek is a gift of the Spirit and it one that I try to cultivate in my life daily. ~ Blessings to you Deb ~
