Praus

By Paula

Praus title graphic

Meek is not mousy.
The meek are not doormats.
In the Greek it is praus

Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5

It means gentle but disciplined.
It means powerful but kind.

To be meek is to be surrended but not beaten down.
It is confident, but not arrogant.

After all, Jesus was meek.

But the meek receive
Instruction
Forgiveness
Blessing
Grace
Love

And, in turn, the meek are
brave enough,
resolved enough,
committed enough

to give
Instruction
Forgiveness
Blessing
Grace
Love
