Are My Words Gracious?

If you chose to read this because you thought you could get all the answers on how to speak graciously, you have come to the wrong place.  Over the past several weeks, the Lord has impressed on my heart that this is what he wants me to focus on in 2015.  So if you would like to come along to learn, share insights or pose questions, you are welcome!  We hope to do some “iron sharpening” and encourage each other along the way.

 

Let’s start in the best place – the Book, Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, (an interesting acronym for BIBLE).  Colossians 4:6 NASB, Let your speech be always with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer each person. Anyone else find that verse challenging? 

In the subsequent posts, I am going to pick apart this verse, refer to other related verses, and tackle related aspects of the topic of grace-filled words.  For this time though, let’s just think about, and chew on the description of gracious speech taken from BlueletterBible.org; words which afford joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, and loveliness.
