Meekness is often mistaken for weakness, but it actually stems from inner strength, self-knowledge, and self-control. It’s about having power yet choosing restraint, guided by deeper wisdom.
Those who truly inherit the earth see beyond the world’s illusions. They possess a ‘gnosis’, a hidden knowledge, about the true nature of reality. This insight isn’t mere intellectual understanding, but a soul-deep knowing of the interconnectedness of all things.
This wisdom doesn’t distance them from the world but fuels their passionate engagement with life.
The meek, like Jesus washing his disciples’ feet, have the power to assert themselves, yet they choose to serve others. They understand that true strength lies not in dominance, but in love, humility, and selfless action. Though they walk the earth, their true source of security lies elsewhere.
Where do you find your inner strength? Can you cultivate the wisdom to see beyond the illusionary world we live in, and still with compassion serve in meaningful ways others who may still be caught up with the illusion?
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
John 17:15 – 16
