You may be right
in your own way. However, what is wrong is wrong. Let’s follow the heart only
when the thoughts of our hearts are of good and not evil. Maturity is not
synonymous with age. There are so many old people who think and talk like
children. They are old but childish in behaviour, and they reason, think and
talk like children.
Ironically, there
are so many young people who reason, think and talk maturely. Education does
not mean automatic wisdom. There are so many highly educated people who are not
wise, and there are so many uneducated people who are as wise as King Solomon.
Bible has made
it clear that there are two types of wisdom – one is earthly wisdom and the
other is wisdom from above. Earthly wisdom is described in the scripture, precisely
in the Book of James 3: 14-15 as sensual and devilish. Earthly wisdom causes
envy, strife and confusion. Earthly wisdom is that which says, ‘I must never
forgive’, and it’s ready to avenge any wrong done to the person.
On the other
hand, wisdom from above is pure and peaceable. Wisdom of God is described in James
3:17 as: “…gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits,
without partiality, and without hypocrisy”.
Let us all work
for the peace of the world; and then there shall be peace that we are praying
for.
