Listen to me, my daughter. Treasure my words in your heart. Respect your father’s instruction and do not reject your mother’s teaching. Hold them forever in your heart and hang them around your neck. These will guard your footsteps, protect you when you sleep and speak to you on waking. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light; correction teaches you the way of life. Follow the path of discipline. Follow in all her ways. Hold firm to discipline; never let her go. Guard her well for she is your salvation. She rests with sound judgment. I love those who love me. And go to meet those who seek me. More precious than silver and gold are my fruit and my yield. Seek me with all your heart. Never let me go. 03.04.24
