"Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him."
Isaiah 51:2

I am a new man in Christ
I am a son of the Patriarch Abraham

God is Giving Me

Meekness

1. Softness of temper; mildness; gentleness; forbearance under injuries and provocations.
2. In an evangelical sense, humility; resignation; submission to the divine will, without murmuring or peevishness; opposed to pride, arrogance and refractoriness. Gal. v.

I beseech you by the meekness of Christ. 1 Cor x.
Meekness is a grace which Jesus alone inculcated, and which no ancient philosopher seems to have understood or recommended.

Buckminster

Webster's 1st ed., 1828

I have given myself to God as a horse to a rider, to be tamed and to ride where directed. While I strengthen myself so that the Rider has a dependable and sturdy steed, I relinquish my right to go where I please, as an undisciplined rebellious stallion. My meekness enables me to accomplish more for His Kingdom than I could in my own strength.

I have rejected the Enlightenment myth of personal rights and expectations; all that I have or could expect belongs to God.
Psalm 62:5

I have remembered Thy Name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept Thy Law.
-- Psalm 119:55
