What is Wisdom

poem by: Roxanne Dubarry
Written on Jul 17, 2026

What is wisdom, without a pure heart, but what is a pure
Heart without wisdom is also very true blue.  For they
Both apply to Holy Spirit's born again believers such
As both you and me too.

When I was younger, I asked for a clean pure heart,
But I did not receive one.  Lo, I was in active hardened
Rebellion against Jesus Christ, God's only begotten
Son.  But can I remember when I asked for wisdom?

Possessing a clean pure heart and wisdom are valueless
Without Jesus Christ's very own righteousness.  Create
In me a clean heart O God and renew a steadfast Spirit
Within me cast me not away from your presence and

Take not your Holy Spirit from me.  Restore to me the
Joy of my salvation and uphold me with Your free
Spirit.  I used to erroneously and wrongfully believed
That Jesus Christ could actively remove His Holy

Spirit from me. But I was taught that what I once
Believed was not true cause He promises to never
Forsake either you or me too.  Actively and wontingly 
Griving God's Holy Spirit I did so very freely.

We are to seek first the kingdom of God and His
Righteousness and all good things will be added
Not only unto you but also unto me too.  Our
Bodies are the temple of the Most High God!

Whatsoever is pure, whatsoever is holy, whatsoever
Is noble we are to mediate upon these things. 
We are to put off the sinful nature of our old man
And put on the new nature of our renewed Spirits.

By putting on the whole armor of God, it is true
That we are able to withstand the wiles of the
Devil too.  We need to stand therefore girding
Our waists with truth, having putting on the

Breastplate of righteousness, and shod our
Feet with the preparation of peace, and taking
The shield of faith to quench the firey darts
Of the wicked one (because of God's only
Begotten Son.)  And putting on the sword

Of the Spirit and the helmet of salvation is
Very noble and very true but it is all very
Powerless without the power of the Holy
Spirit's active defense of both you and
Me too.

***Any Biblical references were implied
and very often paraphrased.

All of my love, my life and my dedication
in Christ Jesus.

Why waste the time of day in wishful thinking? Why spin cobwebs in the air? Why wish upon a star, when no one hears? Many years I have spent in wishful thinking. Day dreaming most of my life away. Wasting away the years, Ign... Read more
