I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence . - Proverbs 8:12
Unfortunately, our wounds are more likely to produce feelings and emotions instead of wisdom. Wisdom isn’t the product of emotion, though acting on our emotions often brings us an opportunity to gain wisdom. Most of the emotions we experience after being hurt arise from lies we believe why we were wounded. I deserved to be hurt because I’m not . . . smart enough, kind enough, pretty enough, good enough. The list goes on. But God’s Word tells us we are created in His image (see Genesis 1:27). Through His Word we know we are His masterpiece (see Ephesians 2:10).
