Not long after I became a believer, God led me (through a wise woman) to the verse written in First Peter 3:4. If you haven't already seen it on my blog header, here it is again.
"But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." 1 Peter 3:4 KJV
This verse struck a chord in my spirit and I began memorizing it. I studied the word meanings and searched where else they had been used in the Word. It has become a navigation in my life. I believe whole-heartedly that this is what God asks of my life- that it would, with His help and light- reflect this verse. That I would be molded into a person with a gentle and quiet spirit.
Meekness should never be mistaken for weakness. It is not mousy or wimpy. There is nothing inferior about having a meek and quiet heart. This is a heart that waits on God, trusts in Him, and confides in Him. It is not a heart that is proud or boastful, but one that gives glory to God. This is who I am called to be and I believe this is who God is molding me to be. When I allow myself to be shaped into His image, I become like Him and His light shines through me.
