Caring for Yourself through Wisdom
My dear son,
I am glad when you care for yourself. Learn what is good for you and discern what is harmful. Alongside your efforts for others, tend the life I love in you as something precious too.
Seeking wisdom is a way of loving your own soul. Consider what sustains you over time, as well as what feels comfortable for a moment. Ask me for wisdom as you learn fitting rest and honest choices.
Tell me what made you happy this evening. You can share something new you would like to learn as well. As your Father, I want your body and heart to receive good care and to grow within love. Your well-being matters to me.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 19:8
WEB8He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
A short reflection
Proverbs teaches that gaining wisdom is an act of love toward one's own life and that preserving understanding leads to good.
