Heavenly Wisdom

James 3:13-17

Who is wise and understanding among you?
Let him show out his meekness that is true;
If your hearts have bitter envy and strife,
Glory not or lie not the truth in your life;
Your wisdom comes not above but of earth,
Of fleshy lusts being devilish since birth;
Wherever envy and strife are so confusion,
Causing you to have an evil misconception;
Wisdom from above is pure from the start,
So peaceful and gentle nestled in the heart;
Full of good mercy without any hypocrisy,
Blessing you with a spiritual supremacy.
Wisdom shows your true colors of your life,
Whether being patient or filled with strife;
Anyone can be arrogant within intelligence,
Still being dumb of a spiritual negligence;
Wisdom from Heaven shows humbled love,
Giving special insight showered from above;
A choice is up to each and everyone of us,
Wisdom of earthly value or from Jesus.
