Be wise in the way you act with people who are not believers, making the most of every opportunity. When you talk, you should always be kind and pleasant so you will be able to answer everyone in the way you should.
Colossians 4:5-6
I shouldn't have said it, but I let the unkind words leave my lips unchecked. And once words are out, the cannot be retrieved. The way we act, the words we speak, the attitudes we choose to display...don't reflect on the person you are directing them to, they reflect on YOU!
Paul reminds us that everything we say and do is noticed; whether we like it or not, whether we intended it to be or not, Others notice. And here's the kicker, if you are a Believer...not only do our actions reflect on us, they reflect on Christ! And we wonder why so many have such a negative view of Jesus? We should begin by looking in the mirror!
"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer." - Psalm 19:14
"Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ." - Colossians 3:23-24
Just something to think about.
