JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL

LOVE FOR WISDOM.

Wisdom has been my love. I courted her when I was young and wanted to make her my bride.

I fell in love with her beauty. She is glorifies her noble origin by living with God, the lord of all, who loves her.

She is familiar
With God's mysteries and helps to determine his course of action.
Is it good to have riches in this life?

Nothing can make you richer than wisdom, who makes everything function.
Is knowledge a useful thing to have?

Nothing is better than wisdom, who has given shape to everything that exists. Do you love justice?
All the virtues are the results of wisdom's work: justice and courage.

Self-control and understanding. Life can offer us nothing more value able than these. Do you want to have wide experience?
Wisdom knows the lessons of history and anticipate the future.

She knows how to interpret what people say and how to solve problems. She knows the miracles that God will perform, and know the movements of history will develop.

So I decided to take wisdom home to live with me, because I knew that she would give me good advice and encourage me in times of trouble and grief.

I thought myself * because of her I will be honoured wherever people come together. The old men will respect me, even I am young.

They will find that my opinions show deep insight, and those in power will admire me. When I am silent, they will wait for me to speak, they will pay attention. Even when I speak at length, they will listen with concentration.

Because of wisdom I will gain immortality; I will live forever in the memory of those who come after me. I will hold power over nations and peoples; dreaded tyrants will be seized with fear at the mention of my name.

I will be famous, as a good king and as a brave soldier. When I come home to wisdom, I will find contentment because there's no conflict or pain in living with her, only happiness and joy.

And I thought it over: to be wedded to wisdom is to live for ever, to love her is to be perfectly happy, to do her work is to be rich beyond sound judgement, to converse with her is to be honoured.

Then I was determined to take wisdom as my bride. I had a pleasant personality, even as a child. I had been fortunate enough to receive a good soul, or rather, I was given a sound body to live because I was already good.

Still, I realized that I would never receive wisdom unless God gave her to me and knowing that only God could give her to me was itself a sign of understanding. So I prayed, begging the lord with all my heart.
