Grace Flowing

When you share an opinion, wrap it carefully in grace. Give it careful thought, and maybe then don’t share it, lest your opinion may signal lack of acceptance. Most folks need acceptance and encouragement. which will bring healing. Your opinion, without grace, may bring cutting and wounding and intimidation.

Grace bridges the gap between good and better. Grace, artfully employed, will build confidence. spur another on to new ideas, and can turn a poor situation into something really good.

Guard your opinions, measure your words, and let grace flow abundantly.

“But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.”
Ephesians 4:7 KJV

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