Meekness isn’t weakness.
It’s knowing you can raise your voice… but choosing wisdom instead.
Real strength wears humility like armor.
#Meekness #LeadershipWithHeart
Quote of the day, 6 February: St. John of the Cross
The humble are those who hide in their own nothingness and know how to abandon themselves to God.
The meek are those who know how to suffer their neighbor and themselves.
If you desire to be perfect, sell your will, give it to the poor in spirit, come to Christ in meekness and humility, and follow him to Calvary and the sepulcher.
Those who trust in themselves are worse than the devil.
Saint John of the Cross
Sayings of Light and Love, nos. 163-166

Correlation is Not Causation.
When I was an atheist, I couldn't understand why a non-believer would ever come to believe in God. I knew that in times of crisis - for example with the death of a loved one, or one's own impending demise - people sometimes turned to God, and I assumed it was simply a desperate grasp for something to make them feel better.
This is probably sometimes true, but I later learned that there is another angle: The trials of life can be very humbling, and humility - meekness - is a crucial prerequisite to having a first-hand, religious/spiritual experience. Its opposite, arrogance, is a barrier. Once that experience has been had, and whatever trial brought about the meekness has passed, that spiritual connection remains. (Of course, other things can erode that connection, but that's a separate topic.)
A quotation from McLaughlin, Mignon:
«
A little embarrassment prevents a lot of goodness.

As millions of people across the globe are preparing to celebrate Christmas, I would like to remind everyone that making peace and turning the other cheek are core values of Christianity.

@bitcoinedu I wonder where she got an idea like that?
1 Timothy 6:7-16 #KJV
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out... For the love of #money is the root of all #evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of #God, flee these things; and follow after #righteousness, #godliness, #faith, #love, #patience, #meekness... Amen
