Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread,"
There is one thing that all of us do every day, whether we are young or old--we talk to other people. Maybe members of our families, or neighbors, or just meeting people at the post office or the market, or at school.
Here's a word for us today. It's in Colossians 4:6: "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."
Paul says, "LET your speech, your words, be full of grace." In other words, if you let the Holy Spirit direct you, your spirit will always be gracious. And if your spirit, your inner feeling, is gracious, then for sure your words will be gracious. Grace in our words is like a little salt in insipid food.
We don't have to be sharp and sandpapery in our words. Why should we wound people? Everyone has enough trouble, why should we add to people's burdens by speaking tartly, bitterly?
Please remember that the Lord Jesus Christ is a Savior--not only when we die, but now day by day, He will save us from bad habits that we have formed. You can become known as someone whose words are always pleasant to hear, uplifting. You can become known as someone whose words are always pleasant to hear, uplifting. You can be a peacemaker, spiritual nurse or doctor bringing healing to people who are wounded spiritually. The Lord has promised to teach you and make you such a person if you will LET Him do so.
