No one can serve two masters: he will either hate the one and love the other, or treat the first with respect and the second with scorn.
~Matthew 6:24~
A Cherokee Tale of Wisdom:
A grandfather from the Cherokee nation was talking with his grandson. “A fight is going on inside of me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.”
“One wolf is evil and ugly: I call this the Dark Wolf. He is anger, envy, war, greed, selfishness and arrogance.”
“The other wolf is beautiful and good: I call this the White Wolf. He is friendly, joyful, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, justice, fairness, empathy, generosity, true, compassion, gratitude, and deep vision.”
“This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other human as well.”
The grandson paused in deep reflection because of what his grandfather had just said. Then he finally cried out,
“Oyee! Grandfather, which wolf will win?”
The grandfather replied, “The wolf that you feed.”
Wisdom indeed! Which wolf will you feed?
This old Cherokee tale was sent from my friend, Mr. James V. Lewis in Bedford, VA.
God of All Wisdom,
Help me to recognize the path of goodness. And then, please walk it with me!
Amen
