Blessed are the meek

From World Vision magazine's Winter 2004 issue:

Meekness is one of the most misunderstood moral qualities. In our society, a meek person is a spineless weakling. Actually, Jesus uses a word that expresses the relinquishment of all illusion of control. Those who know their utter dependence on God, and are trained to trust God in all things, know that they have nothing to lose.

Dear Lord, help me to be meek...
