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 3:17-18 Now I know why righteousness is so hard to find these days. We don't have many in our world who are full of heavenly wisdom - if that means being considerate, submitting to others' needs, living with mercy toward those who are different, bearing good fruit, treating others with impartiality, and demonstrating genuine concern for our neighbors. These traits of wisdom are hard to find in our world, probably because they are often associated with weakness. And, while many claim to love peace, so few are willing to make peace and to sow peace into the lives of others. Heavenly wisdom is full of sacrificial earthly action. That's a powerful reminder to me that wisdom is not what we know but what we sow! We don't produce "a harvest of righteousness" by spewing hate and seeking our own way at the expense of Holy and Wise Father, thank you for demonstrating purity, peace-making, impartiality, submissiveness, mercy, good fruit, and sincerity in the life of Jesus. I ask for the power and courage to demonstrate these Christ-like qualities as I seek to live a more JESUS-shaped life. In the name of Christ Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen.

Yeah, Satan (his TITLE, not his name) is a Master Trickster! And his greatest trick is CONVINCING FAMILIES TO DESTROY THEMSELVES! Families are breaking apart, and parents are being left to grieve children who are still alive. A divided family becomes a weak, angry family. Because of Satan, families are breaking apart at a higher rate than ever before! Parents are being cut off! Children are growing up with no contact with their parents or their grandparents! No roots! No foundation! No will to fight for the people who love them! More people are fighting for strangers than for their own families! And when you break a family, you don’t just break ONE generation, you break ALL the generations that come after! Children with no foundation don’t know who they are or where they come from! And a generation with no roots will follow ANYONE who tells them what to believe, no matter how right or worse, HOW WRONG it may be! This leaves them to become EXACTLY what Satan has designed them to become. How do I know this is true? Because Satan broke my family apart. I am a parent cut off from my own children whom I love and raised in the church! I have a son and daughters I have not seen or talked to in over 20 years, and grandchildren who do not even know I exist. I pray for them every day, but their hearts have been hardened and I can only pray that that changes before it is too late.
