7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Wisdom
Wisdom is an acquired quality. This gift of the Holy Spirt grows in and with you. Wisdom has little to do with looks. One may think a man who is old and bearded is wise because he appears like he has been through a lot in his life. People that have the gift of wisdom look past appearance and look within. In other words, they don’t judge a book by its cover. Divisions drive wise people crazy. This gift has nothing to do with being smart or right but everything to do with being real. People with wisdom can hear beneath the surface of others and are very patient. They do not allow other people to get under their skin. My father, Joe Coelho is a very wise man. He has never been one to judge and bring down peoples self esteem. He is great with advice and tells you how it is. Arguments drive my dad crazy. He always says “life would be easier if you were just friends.” He is a great thinker. When ever I ask him a question it takes him a few minutes to answer because he thinks so hard about it. He never lets anyone get under his skin. He is very strong and has great fortitude. If I ever need to know what to do in a situation my dad has the best advice. Even thought I may not completely agree with him at the moment, I know that his advice is what’s best for me to listen to. There have been many situations when my fathers gift has shown greatly. For example, I was having a really tough time with my very close friend and I didn’t know what to do. My friend was listening to rude remarks her other friend was saying about me. Of corse the first person i turned to for advice was my dad. He told me that I need to let the situation go and that I can only control my self. He also told me not to waist my time. This is just one small situation when my dads gift of wisdom touched my life.
Understanding
An understanding person is a peaceful person. This gift of the Holy Spirt is needed for any good relationship. They are great listeners and can put them themselves in
