Wisdom From Above...

I thought that most of the verses about wisdom were in proverbs, but today i was reading James 3:17-18 and found something about wisdom. The verse says "But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." Wisdom is sooo much more than simply doing what is right. Wisdom that comes from above (from God) is first pure! From the beginning that wisdom is perfect and true. If we think we are wise we cannot go around telling people that everything they do is wrong because we know better. This verse says that this wisdom is open to reason and peaceable, it is full of mercy. If we have wisdom from above we should help others instead, but only when we know that we dont need help ourselves. Sometimes I find myself trying to correct mistakes in others's lives without fixing my own first. My goal is to ask for this sincere and impartial wisdom from above for my life and to bless others as well.
