Wisdom is important because it makes life important. Wisdom is useful because it makes life meaningful. Simply put wisdom makes life worth living because it combines God's gift of faith, learning and living, so why not present this unity as a gift back to God and the people around us.
The interesting class discussions have personally helped me to understand the reasons why we are very special to God. We are special not because of what we do or what we have, nor it is because of who we are, but it's purely because of His wonderful grace.
I also came to understand what wisdom is -- what it means to me -- that is knowing that:
- Each one of us is a special gift to the world as the world is a special gift to us.
- We are like a piece of the puzzle, without us, the world is not complete. Without the rest of the world, we are not complete. And ultimately, without God, we are nothing.
Thus, I am reminded that my life, my talents and all that I have are the perfect gift from God to me, and I need to do my very best to make all this blessing to be the best gift back to God and the people around me for His glory.
Key Message:
Our lives are a fragrance presented by Christ to God. (2 Corinthians 2: 15), so, why not live it and make it as a gift back to Him. To God be the glory.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12: 30-31)
