In today's society, we may confuse meekness with a lack of courage or self-respect. But meekness has a fuller and deeper significance in scripture. It grows from commitment to God and humility of soul and leads to inner peace. Jesus calls us to this meekness.
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth" (Matt. 5:5).

Meekness comes from a peaceful, humble center.
