“What blessing comes to you when gentleness lives in you! For you will inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5: 5, the Passion Translation)

The general belief seems to be that we gain the earth—the rewards, the money, the control, the authority—through power, force, human willfulness.

And yet Jesus, the insightful Truth-teller, promised inheritance of the earth through the very opposite quality. In some translations, Jesus honors the attitude of meekness. Here, we are able to recognize and cherish that lovely idea of gentleness. To value and utilize this natural gentleness within us, gives us the truer, purer, more real mastery over the earth and all it might present to us.

That peace within and the expression of it through tenderness, equanimity, poise, grace, is true power. It proceeds from the Love that is God, and therefore it is omnipotent, as well as right, harmonious, and eternal.

We can quell the belief that we need to be humanly forceful, egotistical or arrogant, in order to gain access to the good that God has for us. Instead, we can release ego to God, to His own gentle hand opening the way for us, naturally bringing out the greater good, the big blessings, for us and for all.
