Meekness is a fruit of the Spirit. It means to be gentle and humble. Not exalting ones self.

Dear Abby or her twin sister, Ann Landers once said, "Those that think they are humble,

I think the bible says something about Moses being the meekest man on earth . Kind of makes one think about what God's definition of meekness is.
