Man's wisdom tends to be full of envy and where 'good deeds' are done there
are always wrong motives.
Many do 'good deeds' for selfish purposes and amitious pride of life.
My desire is to give you a soft, humble heart that doesn't show off or act out in pride but one that does good with sincere humility that comes from my love.
I long for you to share in my perspective, where the one who is the least is truly the greatest.
Work in unity with me.

Wisdom is seeing life from God's perspective.
~Bill Gothard (b.1934)
"Who is wise and understanding among you let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such wisdom does not come down from heaven but is earthly, nonspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure: then peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness."
James 3:13-18
