The Collection of Wisdom reflects on redemptive suffering—the quiet work of turning personal pain into a gift for others. Through biblical references, it explores growth, humility, leadership shaped by character, and the lasting importance of relationships. At its core, it invites a life lived fully in the present, open to change, and grounded in kindness and generosity.

Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.”

“But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.”
James 3 : 17 NLT
- Plans go wrong for lack of advice;
many advisers bring success.- Everyone enjoys a fitting reply;
it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!- Greed brings grief to the whole family,
but those who hate bribes will live.- A cheerful look brings joy to the heart;
good news makes for good health.- If you listen to constructive criticism,
you will be at home among the wise.- If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself;
but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.- Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom;
humility precedes honor.”Proverbs 15:22-23, 27, 30-33 NLT
If your vision is for a year, plant wheat.
If your vision is for ten years, plant trees.
If your vision is for a lifetime, plant people.
Chinese Proverb Andy Stanley Book : Visioneering
Your business needs you to delegate. So does your marriage. And kids. And community. You can’t do it all.
It’d be a shame if your dream didn’t become a legacy because you didn’t take the risk of finding the right people to share the work with.
Even worse, if you lost your best relationships because of that work.
