Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
(Matthew 7:6).
Intelligence is just as essential a part of the Christian message as is love. God is love, but God is also infinite intelligence, and unless these two qualities are balanced in our lives, we do not get wisdom; for wisdom is the perfect blending of intelligence and love. Love without intelligence may do much unintended harm—and intelligence without love may result in clever cruelty. All true Christian activity will express wisdom.
Never rely upon your own judgment to say who is ready for the Truth and who is not, but rely for guidance upon the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. If you are praying regularly every day for wisdom, and fresh opportunities for service, the right people will be brought to you.
Remember that those with whom you associate closely will have your personal conduct under constant inspection. The quickest way to spread the Truth is by living the life yourself. Then people will notice the change in you and they will come round of their own accord, begging to share your secret.
Brothers and sisters,
Let us live each day in love, wisdom and intelligence. And when our pearls are trampled under the feet of swine and dogs, then cast no more pearls to them. One lesson this writer has learned is that the best way to know if one is dealing with those who would trample their pearls is to throw one to them and observe whether they trample of treasure it.
For those who treasure it; throw more pearls. For those who trample: throw their pearls to those who treasure. This is not a license to mistreat the tramplers; it an admonition to turn away knowing you tried. Then forgive the trampler and move on having done the right thing while being guided by wisdom
Treasuring your pearls,
Z gardener
