Wisdom of Heart
Make us know the shortness of our life that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Why do we seek wisdom? Is it so that we might better control ourselves and others in order to number our days? Is it so that we might keep ourselves safe from all disaster and above all turmoil? Do we seek wisdom in order to better rely on ourselves and less on God?
God says: There really is nothing to fear. When life is going well for you and you want it to go on forever it is I who endow you with gifts. When crises loom and your life feels over-long, I buoy you up and lift you above the fray. I do not leave you to survive on your own although I know that this is how you feel. Trust in me. Believe in me. Live in me. I want to be with you always. And I want to share with you the eternal wisdom of my heart.
We want to be self-controlling and self-fulfilling. We believe that we carry the weight of the world. We spend our years searching for panacea and surety. Yet God alone saves. God alone is enough.
Enter the word Wisdom into the blog search bar and explore how God brings us Wisdom of Heart.

This is a beautiful and a timely reminder for me. I can be quite controlling, wanting to take care of everything myself, even when what can be done HAS been done I continue to angst over things.
Yes! We can grow wiser with each of our experiences, though there comes a time when we need to let things over to His Wisdom, and trust that sometimes even though we cannot see the Silver lining or not feel His presence, He is always there and good comes from God!
Great, timely share!
Thank you

So glad the post is helpful to you. I frequently forget that for the most part wisdom is patience but as we know it is so difficult to be patient. Ultimately, the suffering we experience can transform us . . . if we can only allow God to turn everything to good. May you and your family rest in God’s goodness and wisdom.
