Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.Colossians 4:5-6 (ESV)
Sharing the Gospel is not an easy task. We will encounter all kinds of criticisms and opposition from our family and friends that is often hurtful. In such situations, let us be reminded of Jesus’ words to be wise and to be harmless like doves and respond with love and compassion. We must not retaliate with harsh words which would damage our relationships and compromise our efforts to witness effectively.
Father God, help us to live wisely among those who are not believers and may our conversations always be full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that we will have the right response for everyone. We thank You for Your guidance. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
