"Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, and so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man."
Proverbs 3:3-4
Mercy and truth are more than accouterments added like jewelry to our lives just to look good. They are an integral part of the wise person's inner being that is demonstrated through his character. Jesus was full of grace and truth (John 1:14), and He increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men (Luke 2:52). My desire is to grow in God's wisdom, not as some external jewelry, but in the very fabric of my being.
Today's Thought: Mercy and truth are written on the heart of the wise man.
Have a growing day. Love you.
