Lord, when we are wrong, make us willing to change, and when we are right, make us easy to live with!

This is where so many distressing stories come from about people in the ministry. Anyone who is attempting to help others in the way of Christ needs to have the life they are describing. They must have peace, purity, patience, and the other fruit produced by following Jesus. They must have a willingness to see others praised, while they are overlooked. They must die to the idea that what they want has any importance at all.

What I think I sell with my clothes is confidence, so hopefully all my dresses, my accessories, are friends to the women. When you open the closet, and your eyes are swollen, and you don't like the way you look, you go to your friends.

Meekness implies a spirit of gratitude as opposed to an attitude of self-sufficiency, an acknowledgement of a greater power beyond oneself, a recognition of God, and an acceptance of his commandments.

So many reasons are there to love you. Your cute smile, your sweet laugh, your innocence and your kind heart makes me love you.

Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Real spiritual growth is always growth downward, so to speak, into profounder humility, which in healthy souls will become more and more apparent as they age.

It is better to err by excess of mercy than by excess of severity... Wilt thou become a Saint? Be severe to thyself but kind to others.

Kindness is not a word much at home in current political and religious speech, but it is a rich word and a necessary one.

Glances of true beauty can be seen in the faces of those who live in true meekness.
