“Is Not Easily Provoked”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

5. Is not easily provoked. Those filled with the love of Christ are meek; theirs is a quiet but pervasive poise under provocation. Because the Lord has begun to remake their hearts they do not express anger, because they do not experience anger. Because of their trust in the Almighty and the power and perspective of that love which flows from him, Alma and Amulek were able to view the hideous scene of women and children being sent to the flames because of their acceptance of the truth. As their Master would do over a century later on another hemisphere, they stood with meek majesty before the tauntings and assaults of the unholy. (See Alma 14.)
