In the eyes of God, a gentle and quiet spirit is highly valued, as seen in the beatitude where the meek are promised to inherit the earth. The Psalms remind us that the meek will delight in abundance of peace, and in Matthew, Jesus teaches that He is gentle and humble in heart. The apostle James encourages those who are wise and understanding to show their works by a gentle spirit, while Titus emphasizes the importance of being gentle and showing humility towards all men. By embracing meekness, believers can reflect the character of Christ.
