A Heart That Can Learn and Change

My dear son,

Hold firmly to good instruction that helps preserve your life. Wisdom that cares for life is too precious to hear once and let pass away. I want you to learn what is right and make it part of how you live.

Even an uncomfortable word can hold something worth considering. Look honestly at what you can change. Receiving instruction offered with care is a step toward growth, not a final verdict on your shortcomings.

You can practice one small lesson again today. As you change a harmful habit, be patient with yourself. Beside you as you treasure life and hold on to learning, I want to keep supplying wisdom and strength.

With all my love,
Your Father

Proverbs 4:13

WEB

13Take firm hold of instruction. Don’t let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.

A short reflection
