My dad always told me verse 5 and would tell me my meekness was my strength and God would be able to use me because of it but I know it has a more spiritual context than a personality trait.

[@ALPastorBrian]

God can take our traits when submitted to Him mold them into strengths.

I’m suffering persecution for my faith from angry people who are my neighbors. I’m in the United States. God also promised to deliver me from this because it’s been going on for four years and the man’s hurting me also.

Lisa I am so sorry you have experiencing this. I will pray for you. Take heart in what Jesus said. You are blessed.
