Beatitude Number Three

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Matthew 5:5 Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek.” It’s better - turn the other cheek than let yourself lose self-control. Vengeance will rob you of your soul. A humble person is not weak. Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek.” When we use self-discipline, we show God’s power from within! God implied to stand for others - not ourselves, but for our brothers. Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek.” Be thoughtful and with kindness speak! The world is filled too much with pride. Submit to God; be on His side! If peace on earth is what you seek, Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek.” For Beata Agustin's 'BEATITUDE RHYMING POEM' Poetry Contest From 1/15/2012

Congratulations on your win Andrea! Truly meek is definitely not helpless. There is a power and nobility in "humility." So well spoken my friend. And I always love it when you use this rotating theme through each verse that highlights the poetic theme of your poem. Sending you much "gladness" for the new year.
