WORDS WITH GRACE
COLOSSIANS 4
“Let your conversation be always full of grace,
seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”
Colossians 4:6
Life presents us with situations in which we need to establish
constant communication with others. It
is very difficult to give a pleasant response to someone who has harmed us or committed
a wrong against us. We respond in an unpleasant or disagreeable fashion with
the intention of giving this person what we think he deserves according to our
judgment, which only ends up harming him or hurting ourselves. Faced with these
attitudes, we should ask ourselves: If Christ through His power had not humbled
himself before those who condemned and humiliated him, would the world know
love?
God is not absent from
our lives; He cares for us and gives us the opportunity to conquer the world
with love. Let us fill our hearts with joy; let us praise God for his teaching
and deal with those who surround us through words filled only with grace.
Let us offer others
that which we would joyfully receive:
LOVE.
Prayer: Oh God, may your grace
and your love abide with us always. Amen.
PALABRAS
CON GRACIA
COLOSENSES 4
“Sea vuestra palabra siempre con
gracia, sazonada con sal, para que sepáis como responder a cada uno”
Colosenses 4:6
La vida nos presenta situaciones en las que debemos
establecer constante comunicación con
otros, nos cuesta mucho dar una respuesta agradable a alguien que nos hizo un mal, o nos hirió, y
respondemos de forma desagradable o descompuesta con el fin de dar a éste lo que creemos se
merece según nuestro juicio, con lo que solo conseguimos dañarlo o dañarnos
nosotros mismos. Ante estas actitudes debemos preguntarnos ¿Si Cristo por Su
poder se hubiera enaltecido ante aquellos que los condenaron y lo humillaron,
el mundo conocería el amor?
Dios no
está ausente de nuestras vidas, Él cuida de nosotros y nos da la oportunidad de
conquistar con amor el mundo. Llenemos de gozo nuestros corazones, clamemos a
Dios por sus enseñanzas y elevemos nuestras súplicas para sólo pronunciamos
palabras llenas de gracia a quienes nos rodean.
Ofrezcamos
a los demás lo que con gusto quisiéramos recibir: AMOR.
Oración: Oh Dios,
que tu gracia y tu amor nos acompañen siempre. Amén
Hit home. The less I talk, and the more I listen to others, the more communication that happens. I really need to work on persistent intentional pursuit of listening to God.
