LET YOUR LOVE BE GUIDED BY WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE



In Philippians 1:9 (NKJV), the Bible says, "And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment."


This scripture teaches us that love should not just grow in quantity, but in knowledge and discernment. In other words, love must be guided by wisdom and understanding—not just emotions or feelings.


Love is a precious gift. Whether it is in marriage, friendships, or caring for others, you must handle love with caution. Not everyone deserves your love. Only those who value, honor, and respect your love are worthy of receiving it. If you give your heart to people without wisdom, you may end up deeply hurt. Jesus warned in Matthew 7:6 not to cast your pearls before swine, because they will trample them and then turn to harm you. Your love is a pearl—don’t give it to those who will misuse it.


Many people think love is only about emotions, but true love is more than feelings. It involves thinking, assessing, and deciding carefully. Emotions can be misleading. The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.” That’s why you should not simply "follow your heart." That phrase is not from God—it’s human advice that can lead you into pain and trouble.


Before entering into any relationship, you must pray for wisdom and knowledge. Use your mind, listen to the Holy Spirit, and observe the character of the person. Ask yourself: Does this person fear God? Do they respect love? Are they honest and committed?


Let the Holy Spirit be your guide. When you allow God to direct your steps, He will protect you from wrong relationships and heartbreak. Trust Him, seek His wisdom, and He will show you who is worth your love.


Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom, knowledge, and the Holy Spirit’s guidance to love rightly and protect my heart from harm. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
