"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." -Colossians 4:5-6 (NIV)
Most of us have people in our lives that we like to be around. These people may have become our friends through seemingly meeting by chance or through groups of people with shared interests. We like spending time with people similar to ourselves, but we also know there are others who do not fit within our usual social groups and may even challenge us. While it could be easy to ignore or dismiss these others, we are called to do more!
God is love and He calls us to share His love. We can talk about how much God loves, but that is not enough. To truly find answers to many of life's problems, we need to act on God's love. We can better allow people to see God's love through DOING, than by simply talking. Conversation and words have their place, but without actions, it will be difficult to show meaningful answers. Through loving God, receiving His love, and acting on His love, we can be sure that we have seasoned words supported by actions that lead to answers!
Be sure the answers are not just in your words, but also in your actions!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and compassion. Help me to share Your love and compassion in my words and through my actions. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
