The gift of wisdom

Wisdom is not learned through books and college degrees. It is learned through fear of Me which is first and foremost. To know Me, to love Me and know what is pleasing to Me is wisdom by itself.

The world has a different definition of wisdom, it looks on people who are successful in their fields of endeavor as wise, brilliant and successful. Look into the lives of some of these people, the silent ones, not the flamboyant types. You will find a serenity of spirit, a calmness of the soul which comes from knowing that I am in total charge of their affairs and they are just stewards or business partners.

They don't fret too much because after doing everything that they can to the best of their ability, they entrust everything to Me. Such complete trust in My grace sets them apart from the rest. They are successful but kind, compassionate and loving to their fellow brothers and sisters. They are humble in their abundance and they don't find it difficult to share their blessings with others.

They are generous because they understand the rule of the universe, that of giving and sharing which in turn will generate more blessings for the giver. Wisdom is knowing when to to give back and when to withhold, although, it is not good to withhold something from someone in need.

It is withholding information that I speak of that may cause harm or hurt to another. It is withholding actions and words that will injure someone's feelings and cause great harm to his potential as an individual.

You should never cause someone to fall because of your words or actions. Wisdom is knowing how to uplift a soul in the brink of despair, it is knowing how to share words of comfort and giving the time to listen and understand. Wisdom shows you all these, wisdom is for the soul's enrichment, never for it's downfall. It is for knowing Me as your Father and Creator and acknowledging Me and My greatness in everything that you do.

Wisdom is Me talking to you and you listening to Me in awe, respect and love and doing what I command you to. Wisdom is the truth that knocks at your heart timidly so you will let it enter and let it settle there for good. Wisdom is knowing Me, acknowledging Me as your Savior and protector at all times.

Listen to wisdom, child and let it guide you through your life.
