Let Grace Speak!

Colossians 4:6
"Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."

Sometimes we can be short with people & be offensive.
Sometimes we can ask for someone's advice, not really wanting it & then respond to that person's comment with criticism.
Sometimes we can fail to see how offensive our responses are to others.

Truth be told;
I have committed these offenses many times.

"WITHOUT LOVE, GRACIOUS WORDS WILL NEVER BE SPOKEN!"

How about you?
Have you ever struggled with your speech?
Has your conversation ever gone in a direction which you didn't intend it to go?
Have you hurt someone with your body language?
Has your tone of voice been out of sync with GRACE?
Has GRACE escaped your conversation?

If your answer is "YES" to any or all of these, then you are in a place where only the Holy Spirit can reach you.
But there is no need for embarrassment.
No one is perfect.
No one can tame their tongue by themselves.

"IT IS ONLY THROUGH THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO PUT TO DEATH THE MISDEEDS OF THE FLESH!"

"GRACE IS PRESENT ONLY WHEN THE SPIRIT OF LOVE IS PRESENT!"

Even soft-spoken words can be offensive if not seasoned with grace.

"EVERYTHING MUST BE DONE WITH LOVE!"
"BECAUSE LOVE IS FULL OF GRACE!"
"BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE!"

Therefore, let your conversations be led by the Holy Spirit!

"LET THE SPIRIT OF GRACE SPEAK THROUGH YOUR LIFE!!!"
