QUOTE : What then is meekness? It is to live in self-surrender to God, free from the sense of "me" and "mine." This does not mean that we should get rid of wealth, family, and friends; but we should get rid of the idea that they belong to us. They belong to God. We should think of ourselves as God's servants to whose care he has entrusted his creatures and possessions. As soon as we understand this truth and give up our deluded individual claims, we find that in the truest sense everything belongs to us after all.
