Letter from God

My dear children,
If you are wise and understand (my) ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with humility that comes from wisdom.  My wisdom is first of all pure.  It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others.  It is full of mercy and good deeds.  It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.  Those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.*

The best wisdom isn’t what is spewed from your mouths to impress others with your great wealth of knowledge.  The best wisdom is demonstrated by how you live life with others:  the lovely and unlovely, the hurting, the lost, those that are searching all around you..waiting for you.  When you go to the prisons, give a cup of water/food to the starving, do random acts of kindness when no one is watching.  This is being God-wise…the best wisdom you could ever have or impart.
Now go and make disciples teaching them to obey all the commands I have given you.  You can do this…you will not be alone, I will always be with you.  This is my wisdom in action.
Love,
God
*James 3:13-18; Mt 28
