True Wisdom

True wisdom comes from God above, 
Not from human intellect or pride. 
In humility, we find His love, 
And in His guidance, we abide.

Our understanding, though sincere, 
Is limited, compared to His might. 
With open hearts, we draw near, 
To grow in faith, to seek His light.

Evaluate your motives, actions too, 
Align them with God’s eternal truth. 
Not with the norms society construes, 
But with the wisdom of our youth.

Boast not in leaders or in fame, 
But in the Lord, give glory due. 
For every blessing, every name, 
Is a gift from Him, pure and true.

Shift your focus from earthly gain, 
To the inheritance in Christ we hold. 
Live with gratitude, through joy and pain, 
With purpose, let your story unfold.

Unity within the church we seek, 
A community of love and grace. 
Each person’s value, unique and meek, 
Together, we find our place.

Thank and praise God for His care, 
Share His goodness, far and wide. 
In His blessings, we all share, 
In His love, we all abide.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
