Now, some things to chew on2Question:How would you define Meek?

3Elder MaxwellMeek individuals know they are set apart to serve, not merely set apart to observe. It is the proud, not the meek, who keep score. The meek are not playing games for those in the grandstand. The meek are slow to judge, whereas the proud are quick, even eager to judge. The meek will not withhold compassion or help, saying that 'the man has brought upon himself his misery.' Being more open to the truth, the meek are more free, while the proud are compassed about with the glitzed self-sufficiency that keeps them from grasping the hand of fellowship extended to all by the Lord's prophets."(Meek and Lowly, p63-64)

9How to REALLY know.Alma 32:4

10The Mighty ChangeAlma 32:28Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heartIf yea do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold it will begin to swell within your breastsAnd when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to sayIt must bea good seed, or that the word is good [The Word] beginneth to enlighten my understandingAlma 31:5the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was justYea, [the word] had had more powerful effect upon the mind of the people than the sword,Or anything else, which had happened to them.Alma 32:28Now, we will compare His love unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heartIf yea do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold it will begin to swell within your breastsAnd when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to sayIt must bea good seed, or that His love is good [His Love] beginneth to enlighten my understandingAlma 31:5the preaching of His Love had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was justYea, [His Love] had had more powerful effect upon the mind of the people than the sword,Or anything else, which had happened to them.11Final QuestionWhen you were younger, what seeds were planted in your heart? Did someone plant seeds of doubt or mistrust or pain? As those seeds grew what was the fruit like? If thats the case, could you at least try an experiment on the words of Alma? What if you aroused your faculties, and exercised a particle of faith?What might happen if you allowed the Lord to plant a good seed; one what you didnt immediately cast out by your unbelief? What if it began to swelleth and beginneth to grow?What might happen if your understanding doth begin to be enlightened, and your mind doth begin to expand?Oh then, is not this real? I say unto you, yea, because it is light.
