Speak with Grace

 Colossians 4:6
 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Talking to people about Jesus can feel uncomfortable. People in our day and culture are weary of those who push their religion on others. We live in a country where we have access to a vast amount of knowledge and people’s ideas and beliefs are widespread. Anyone who is vocal about their faith is looked upon as fanatical or a religious freak. As believers in Christ, we are admonished to share the gospel of Christ. To let others know of the grace of God through Christ, who is able to bring real meaning and purpose into our lives. There are those who find it easy to turn every conversation into a spiritual one. I believe such is a gift that God gives. It is true that our lives speak louder than our words, but the words we speak tell the story of the life we live. We must stay alert to the opportunities God gives up to speak of the Grace of God. How important it is that our conversation always be seasoned with the salt of kindness and gentleness. As often as we interact with the world in business and social relationships, let us always remember that we are our ambassadors for Christ and witnesses to the life He has called us.
