"The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy" - James 3:17
Have you ever known anyone who claimed to be wise but who acted foolishly ? True wisdom can be measured by the depth of a person's character.
Just as you can identify the tree by the type of fruit it produces, you can evaluate your wisdom by the way you act.
Foolishness leads to disorder, but wisdom leads to peace and goodness. Are you tempted to escalate the conflict, pass on the gossip, or fan the cord of discord ?
Careful, winsome speech and wise, loving words are the seeds of peace. God loves peacemakers.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will see God." - Matthew 5:9
