Speak Kindly/graciously
Pastor Zubeda Sing · 2 min read
“Conduct yourself with wisdom in your interactions with outsiders (non-believers), make the most of each opportunity [treating it as something precious]. Let your speech at all times be gracious and pleasant, seasoned with salt, so that you will know how to answer each one [who questions you]”
OH, the loving kindness and the tender mercies of the Lord. These are his characteristics that show us love and give us the ability to be forgiven. Our God always shows mercy, no matter how far we have gone, his loving kindness always reaches out and pulls us back into his love. His mercy never fails, they are new every morning.
We need to become more and more like Jesus. This does not happen over night nor can we accomplish this in our own strength. This is why Jesus said it was important for the Holy Spirit to come and live on the inside of us and he would teach us how. Daily we are changed and transformed. Our character and personality gradually changes as we allow Him to work in us. The tone of our voice changes and the anger leaves. The pain of yesterday is removed and we learn to speak graciously and kindly to others. We are transformed and changed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Embrace this beautiful outworking of the Holy Spirit who works from the inside out. You are that special that God wants to make you more and more like him.
From the April 2025 issue, themed YEAR OF DOUBLE BLESSING & GREAT GRACE.
