Speak Sweeter, April 6, 2008
Colossians 3:16IIf you had only 30 Days to live or one year to live, would your 30 days be different than your 365?
The point we're making is that we are to LIVE like we are dying…with emphasis on the word LIVE.
When was the last time you received a strong, positive verbal investment from somebody who matters in your life?
When was the last time you dispensed a strong, positive verbal investment to somebody who matters in your life?
When was the last time you received a strong, personal cutting message from someone who matters in your life?
When was the last time you dispensed a strong, personal cutting message to someone who matters in your life?
Do you think those who are "not very verbal" get a "pass" on this week's challenge of "Speaking Sweeter?"
Read Ephesians 4:10-16, 29
How does "speaking the truth in love, not letting any unwholesome words come out of your mouth, speaking only that which builds others up" all work together?
You were challenged to speak words of appreciation, encouragement and directed prayer to those around you. Who do you think is "dying" to hear those words from you?
Every day this week, ask God to filter your mouth with words of appreciation, encouragement and prayers for those whom God places in your pathway.
