Meekness

Meekness is love at school. Love at the Saviour’s school. It is Christian lowlihood. It is the disciple learning to fear, and distrust, and abhor himself. It is the disciple practicing the sweet but self-emptying lesson of putting on the Lord Jesus, and finding all his righteousness in the Righteous One. It is the disciple learning the defects of his own character, and taking hints from hostile as well as friendly monitors. It is the disciple praying and watching for the improvement of his talents, the mellowing of his temper, and the amelioration of his character. It is the loving Christian at the Saviour’s feet learning of Him who is meek and lowly, and finding rest for his own soul.
