Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1535 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:
Today’s quote is from Dwight L. Moody, and it is: Joy is love exalted; peace is love in repose; patience is love enduring; gentleness is love in society; goodness is love in action; faith is love on the battlefield; humility is love in school; restraint is love in training.
The Attributes of Love
We hear so much about love, but few understand the actual attributes which create true love. Love is not a feeling, although it may cause us to have certain feelings. Love is not something that we fall into, nor out of. Love is a choice, and a choice that must be made every day. How can you know if you are exuding love? Check your life to see if it contains the attributes that makeup love. The quote from today list those attributes. Joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, humility, and restraint. These are closely aligned with the fruit of God’s Spirit dwelling within us. If you have God’s Spirit, then you should also understand how to love. Here is a test to know just how passionately you love another person. These are Jesus’s words found in
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2015%3A13andversion=NLT (John 15:13)
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Are you willing to give up your way for someone else? How about your life? Let us work at refining the attributes of love in our lives. As we allow God’s Spirit to control every aspect of our lives, we can see the fruit of His Spirit manifested in our lives.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+5%3A22-23andversion=NLT (Galatians 5:22-23)
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
