Matthew 5:5 (NIV) Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Meek endurance and meek obedience, the accepting of his dealings, of whatever complexion they are and however they may tear and desolate our hearts, without murmuring, without sulking, without rebellion or resistance, is the deepest conception of the meekness that Christ pronounced blessed.

M—Mighty,
E—Emotionally stable,
E—Educable,
K—Kind.
