As we explore the third principle of Jesus' teachings on a flourishing life, we discover the power of meekness. Far from being weakness, true meekness is strength under control, the ability to hold power gently. This attribute is born out of acknowledging our own brokenness and need for God's grace, moving us to treat others with the same compassion we've received.

Jesus invites us to come to Him, weary and burdened as we are, promising rest for our souls. This rest isn't just physical, but a deep spiritual peace that comes from letting go of our facades and allowing God to reshape us from the inside out. It's a journey of authenticity, where we no longer need to maintain a curated image but can be genuinely beautiful people.

The path to this flourishing life is both fast and slow - fast in God's immediate embrace and forgiveness, but slow in the lifelong process of transformation. As we lean into this loveshaped life, we begin to reflect the character of our Creator - the most powerful being in the universe who is also the most humble and meek. This is the upside-down kingdom of Jesus, where greatness is found in servanthood and true strength in gentleness.
