Wisdom from above

After James 3:13-18 

Wisdom comes from

living in Christ, being

open to all and 

allowing the Spirit

to dwell within you.

Wisdom from above

can be identified

and defined: peace,

gentleness, listening

to others, mercy,

producing good,

impartial, sincere.

When that wisdom

is present it sows

righteousness, it sows

in peace, it produces

a great harvest.

Wisdom is not sought

as an end in itself;

wisdom happens when

it’s instilled from above.

And it’s demonstrated

by a beautiful life.
