SPEAK GRACIOUS WORDS.
(Let Go Of Pride Completely)
TO THE BIBLE 1 Peter 3:10 CEV
“Do you really love life? Do you want to be happy? Then stop saying cruel things and quit telling lies.”
LET’S TALK
I get concerned when I see young people who are rude, who use harsh, unkind words when addressing others: their parents, siblings, teachers, colleagues, and even friends. You should never emulate such behaviour , because the Bible says “…Don’t yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude” (Ephesians 4:31 CEV). A person may be good and humble in his heart, yet be crude in his speech and mannerisms. He may not start out being rude, yet at the end, his words leave those listening to him offended.
This is why as a child of God, you must consciously learn to use the right language. Talking right is a vital part of your spiritual growth and development. You should always consciously and consistently improve the way you address others. Remember what the officers who were sent to arrest the Lord Jesus said about Him: “No man ever spoke like this Man!” (John 7:46). They were captivated by His words, and blessed by His communication! This should be the same testimony that others have of you. Get those around you inspired by the words that come out of you.
Your words define your life, value, and personality. The character of your words is the character of your personality. Therefore, let your words be full of grace always; let your communication be edifying. Rid your vocabulary of all bitter, malicious, coarse, and hurtful words. Walk in love, and don’t just show love to those who love you, but also to those who may not like you. Let your words be seasoned with love at all times.
