The third characteristic of Kingdom life is meekness. Meekness is quiet strength that is gentle and kind. It always confronts wrath with a soft answer. It does not need to win. Meekness does not come naturally to me, for in my home I am controlling. In order to overcome this sin, I must first humble myself before my family and my God, then passionately cry out to God for deliverance, and then begin to practice meekness by the grace of God. Meekness is not achieved through self-reformation but must be a genuine work of God's spirit as we practice what is contrary to our natural tendencies. Genuine meekness begins to take root as God's grace is sufficiently and generously given to the humble who walk in steps of obedient faith.
