Meekness is one of the greatest forms of strength. It is in no way weakness. Your ability to remain humbly patient even when under provocation depicts that you are not a slave to your emotions, or the environment you find yourself. Statements hurled at you or certain actions taken against you must not determine your responses. You might say, “Ashley, all that you have mentioned are easier said than done.” You are very correct. All the above are easier said than done. Nevertheless, it doesn’t rule out the fact that they can be done. Rome was not built in a day, they say. Same thing with great virtues- they take time and conscious effort to be built. If we claim we are CHRISTians, we have to show the fruits. Mere words won’t do. 

One of the beautiful benefits of being a Christian is the fact that our perfect Example, Jesus Christ, is willing to teach us how to live meek lives. He is not asking us to go figure it out ourselves. He is pointing us to Himself, His Word. But the question is- how many of us are really willing to learn the virtue that’ll cause us to inherit the Earth? We’ll rather go learn the rudiments of having more traffic on social media platforms. We are more interested in learning how to monetize almost every of our abilities. Many of us are fast misplacing our priorities. We forget the main thing. We forget that as Christians, Matthew 6:33 ought to be our primary priority.
