“Wisdom is the power to see, and the inclination to choose, the best and highest goal, together with the surest means of attaining it.” J. I. Packer

It is wise to consider the approach, not just our goal. A parent may want their children to make good choices, but how we decide to encourage this can affect if they will want to listen. Wisdom instructs its own counsel before it is offered.

“The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.” Prov.16.23 Conversations Within ts 8/17/2023
