But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 3:17-18 (ESV)
In the latter part of James Chapter 3, it refers to wisdom from above. To that point, we need to set aside selfishness and jealousy; we need to take heed to the fact that our Savior came to share a religion that is founded in love. Scripture instructs us to “love thy neighbor.” Simply put, we need to lay down all thoughts that prevent us from being the “good neighbor.”
Holy God, help us to remove all prejudice, hate, and misconception from our hearts. Show us the way to practice the love you teach so that we can be the catalyst to bring the spirit of peace to our community. Amen.
