2024 TEENS VOLUME RHAPSODY OF REALITIES – MESSAGE.
“My goodness! You’re so clumsy and foolish. By now, you should know I don’t like my books kept that way,” Travis said to Louise, his younger sister.
“That’s no way to speak to your little sister. Apologise to her this instance,” their mom firmly instructed. “You ought to communicate with everyone gracefully,” she added.
“Louise, I’m sorry I said those words,” Travis apologized.
As Christians, we have the Spirit of Christ. We’re the light of the world. We’re to think, love, talk, and conduct all our affairs in life like Him. Colossians 3:17 admonishes us to allow every detail in our lives—our words and actions—to align with the character of Christ: “…Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (ESV).
In other words, the character and presence of Jesus ought to radiate through you in your everyday walk. Like Him, let your words be gracious and graceful. Practise His love through your words. People remember you more for the things you said to them and how you made them feel through your words. So, make up your mind that your words will communicate the presence and love of Jesus. Let the world see Jesus in you. Let them feel His love in the words you speak.
In the same way that the Lord Jesus was confident to say, “…If you have seen me, you have seen the Father..”. (John 14:9 CEV); your testimony ought to be, “If you have seen me, you have seen Jesus.” Let Him be who they see and hear when they listen to you.
Never use terrible, abusive, and insulting words even if you’re angry. Never be happy that your words made someone else sad. That’s inconsistent with your nature of love. Be like Jesus: the Bible says, “…And the common people heard him gladly” (Mark 12:37). When people hear you, they should be glad because of your gracious, graceful words of life to them that stir the love for Christ in their hearts.
