Really meek

Meekness is easy to counterfeit but hard to find in its purest form. Vicki Gaines shares insights on the real deal:

Meekness, I think, is the fruit of brokenness. When I try to manufacture it, I fail miserably, and my reserve of kindness flies out the window. I desperately need Christ to speak and act through me. "Rest in Me," He says.

To walk and live meekly is to grow from a place of utter humility and brokenness, trusting in His Life and not my own. No need to pray for patience. Christ IS our patience, manifested more and more as we abide.

Amen. I recommend Vicki's whole post.
