Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Colossians 4:6 (NKJV)

Words are powerful. They can encourage, praise, and express kindness; or they can demean, hurt, and put someone down. We have all felt the bitter sting of unkind and judgmental words. We also have experienced words of encouragement and courage. What a difference words can make! The Bible says that we need to let our speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt. Let’s use our words wisely. Let’s minister words of life.
