Lesson 9

“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

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

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”

There is only one way to achieve meekness:

Devoting oneself to God daily.
