 HOW DOES MEEKNESS BECOME EVIDENT

“Meekness is a precious grace, willing to suffer

silently, willing to endure trials. Meekness is
patient and labors to be happy under all
circumstances. Meekness is always thankful and
makes its own songs of happiness, making melody in
the heart to God. Meekness will suffer
disappointment and wrong, and will
not retaliate.
Meekness is not to be silent and
sulky. A morose temper is the
opposite of meekness; for this only
wounds and gives pain to others, and
takes no pleasure to itself”

E.G.W. (Testimonies, vol. 3, pp. 335)
