AVOIDING GODLESS CHATTER

Colossians 4:5-6

"Be wise in the way you act to outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation always be full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."

My conversation...the first thing that impresses others. Is it godless chatter? or full of grace, seasoned with salt?

Very often first impression
comes from words,
my conversation.
godless chatter? idle patter? seasoned grace?
To God, it matters.

GRACE forgives the careless sin,
offers joy from hearts, within.
SALT soothes a wound, in right dilution,
rather stings in high solution,
preserves meat, alternately savors
culinary's unique flavors.

My words, with prudence, do the same.
Accept with joy, yet values retain.
Point out a fault, applaud a gain,
turn into a vault a step of pain.
I can draw others to kingdom questions
with grace, seasoned to perfection.
