Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5
Meek is such an interesting word. Webster’s Dictionary defines meek as, kind, patient, mild, too submissive, easily imposed on, spineless, spiritless. Our society defines a meek person as timid, fearful, a doormat to wipe your feet on. But Jesus described Himself as “meek and lowly of heart,” and I do not see Him as anyone’s doormat.
I believe the word meek describes a person who is loving, gentle, patient, and most of all, kind - someone who is willing to serve rather than be served. There are those who equate kindness with weakness. I believe that adopting the character of Jesus is what gives us strength. Being of service to others blesses them, and blesses us. Is there someone you can uplift today?
