A short thought on meekness


You're blessed when you're content with just who you are- no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought. 


Matthew 5:5

Somebody read this The Message Translation version of the Beatitudes earlier, and it gave me a new perspective on meekness. The narrow way of Peace, of "turning the other cheek" is not easy, but can become lighter when we are sure of who we are and what we will and will not stand for. We must continue to be less concerned about others opinions and whether they perceive our actions to be weak or nonsensical.
