Wisdom From Above
I got this from my devotional this morning:
Are any of you wise or sensible? Then show it by living right and by being humble and wise in everything you do. But if your heart is full of bitter jealousy and selfishness, don't brag or lie to cover up the truth. That kind of wisdom doesn't come from above. It is earthly and selfish and comes from the devil himself. Whenever people are jealous or selfish, they cause trouble and do all sorts of cruel things. But the wisdom that comes from above leads us to be pure, friendly, gentle, sensible, kind, helpful, genuine, and sincere. When peacemakers plant seeds of peace, they will harvest justice. James 3:13-18
My prayer is that I will find the wisdom that leads me to be pure, friendly, gentle, sensible, kind, helpful, genuine and sincere. I struggle day to day to be who I believe God wants me to be. I realize he is not condemning me, but I constantly condemn myself. I know I can be a better person, and I will continue to try.
