A working definition of “meekness” would be “a true view of oneself expressing itself in attitude about myself and conduct toward others.” Meekness is not simply “niceness” or a biological knack of being easy-going. These kinds of people, Jesus says, will “inherit the earth.” That means they will experience what so many wealthy and powerful people don’t – a satisfaction or contentment with what God has given to enjoy, trusting him for everything you need or even want. How does one practice such humility? We need to see gentleness and humility as “beautiful,” not a weakness or something for which to be embarrassed. Then we need to practice three character strengths that will make us meek: be approachable; be sensitive; and be teachable.
