It may not be an easy thing to live in sweet fellowship with everyone; but that is what the grace of God is for. - D.L. Moody
Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Colossians 4:6
Mama use to say, “If you can’t say nothing good, don’t say nothing at all!” Some of the wisest words from a high school drop-out! Mom was one of the most forgiving, loving, graceful people I knew. Yes, she had her ways as everyone does but she knew how to get along with almost anyone as well!
Our Saviour set the standard when it comes to graceful living! He never spoke a Word out of turn. He never went beyond what needed to be said. He never said something before or after it was needed to be said. Even when He rebuked the money changers at the Temple, He did it in such a way the message was understood and many where rebuked!
How is your speech? Do you speak when you have something to say or do you have something to say so you speak? There is a huge difference! As the Proverb says… A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Proverbs 25:11
