How are believers to be when it comes to speaking? We all know that more than words of high knowledge, intelligence and powerful demonstration of communication skills, what is more essential is the transparency of being, doing and living of what we speak.
Our life speaks more than our words which we may think is unseen by people. But people can read a lot from the way we display our attitude, behaviors, actions and the way we live. Unless our words match with the way we live and do things, our speech is meaningless. May we never be people who speak one thing with our mouth but has something different in our heart...May our hearts be transparent and honest enough to speak what we mean, live and do.
1 Timothy 4:12 (New Living Translation)
Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
Could be difficult for those who want to keep everyone happy / please people... on the flip-side... you become unpopular by doing so... but what is more important is to be recognized at HOME (heaven) so does is matter to bother about people around...
