Sandy Gregory's story of the ignorant but loving mother.
She feeds her children an all meat diet, because she believes meat is the best kind of food. One day she gains some important knowledge after reading a nutrition guide, and she starts buying a mixture of food types for her children. As a result her children become healthier. .
Question: Did this mother love her children more before or after she gained the knowledge? Hmmm.... The same!
But until the knowledge, her love was fruitless, even counterproductive. Knowledge that is true allows love to blossom into good fruit.
Prov 24:3-4 (NIV) By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.
Love can be a waste when we don't apply wisdom.
