The Lord counseled Emma Smith to βcontinue in the spirit of meeknessβ (Doctrine and Covenants 25:14; see also verse 5).
Why is it important to be meek?
Elder David A. Bednar explained:
βThe Christlike quality of meekness often is misunderstood in our contemporary world. Meekness is strong, not weak; active, not passive; courageous, not timid; restrained, not excessive; modest, not self-aggrandizing; and gracious, not brash. A meek person is not easily provoked, pretentious, or overbearing and readily acknowledges the accomplishments of othersβ (βMeek and Lowly of Heart,β Ensign or Liahona, May 2018, 32).
