Meekness

It has been encouraging to read the blogs you all have posted on meekness. Thank you for sharing! 

Throughout the message I continued to be reminded that these blessed qualities are not something we can make ourselves to be, but come when we are in sync with Christ and His gospel. As I listened I was reminded of the Proverb that talks about pride coming before the fall, Jesus again showing me that it is Christ in us that causes this gentleness and that He deserves and will get all credit, praise, and glory for His qualities [Himself] shining through us. 

Additionally, it was very interesting to learn that emotional discipline is part of meekness.

DJ says, “the meek deliberately redirect their emotions and find their peace and wholeness in a person [the person of Christ]”. He goes on to mention that “the meek are those who when offended surrender their wounded ego and the one offending their ego to the perfect judge!!!”

These words are a great reminder to absorb all insults and hurt feelings and surrender them to our Father who will surely meet us and fulfill every need and searching within our woundedness.

Lord I pray that I would give you all credit, glory, and praise for who you are through me. I entrust my whole being to you, including my mind to “[you] who judges righteously”. God please show me what it is to be in sync with you and your gospel.
