Transforming Gifts – Knowledge and Wisdom

Lord, when we think about knowledge and wisdom, we usually think with our heads. However, like all gifts of the Holy Spirit, these gifts require our hearts as well, because our calling is to love you with all that we have and are and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Paul wrote, “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.” Forgive us when we use any good gift of yours to puff ourselves up. Enable us to use all your gifts to build others up so that we can become more like Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen.
