Read Colossians 4:6
"Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person."
Devotional
Your words have power. They can encourage or discourage. They can heal or hurt. They can point people toward Jesus or push them away.
Before you speak today, pause and ask:
- Is it true?
- Is it kind?
- Will it help someone see Jesus?
Imagine if every text message, conversation, comment, and post reflected the love of Christ. People may not remember every word you say, but they will remember how you made them feel.
When your words are filled with both grace and truth, you become a picture of Jesus to the people around you.
