Always Full of Grace

Listen to the Audio

Here is today's communion meditation.

Our message for July is Favor, Patterns, & Relationships. Communion is a time to examine ourselves, and in today's communion we are going to be working on our own patterns. We all have patterns in how we relate to people and these patterns are very important. Colossians 4:6 says to let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. In today's communion we are asking God to help us with the tone in which we speak, especially to the people closest to us in our family. 

Something I have found to be true is we often use a tone with the people closest to us that we would never use with others. Our goal is to always have our conversations be full of grace, especially with those closest to us. Notice that when our speech is full of grace we know HOW to answer everyone. In conversations there is WHAT is said and HOW it was said. The HOW is usually more important than the WHAT, because the HOW contains the emotions of what is in our heart. 

On our own this is going to be hard to change, but Jesus is full of grace and truth and can help. To have our conversations always be full of grace comes from our heart positioning as we enter into conversations. As we position our hearts to receive God's grace and let it flow through us to others it helps our speech be full of grace, gentleness, kindness, peace, and love. As we take communion today we are going to ask God for help to create a turning in HOW we speak so that our conversations are always full of grace. 

I am praying for you.
