Colossians 4:6 - Speaking with Grace Seasoned with Salt.

Colossians 4:6: Speaking with Grace Seasoned with Salt. 

Colossians 4:6 (NKJV) Let your speech always be with grace, 
seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   "Do you have a driver's license for that thing? Ha! Ha!" My 
wheelchair elicits lots of comments. I'm surprised how many people initiate 
communication with me. I really don't mind. In fact, I love it. Usually the 
ambassador of Christ is the one who must jumpstart conversations, hoping to 
engage the interest of the other. That's hardly the case with me. The 
wheelchair does the "initiating." I merely sit back and respond. 
   People don't expect me to look happy sitting in a wheelchair. 
Saying "I have a reason for living" in response to their remarks about 
my singing or my smile always evokes a curious look. That's when I 
add, "Jesus has blessed me! By the way, what's your reason for 
living?" Sure it catches people off guard, sometimes delighting them, 
sometimes making them curious, and sometimes sending them running for the 
nearest exit. But one thing's for certain..., it's got them thinking! 
   The truth is I've never heard of one certain style of giving 
the Gospel that was a sure-fire success. I've learned that it has a 
lot more to do with the Holy Spirit's work in a person's heart than 
it does with a certain tool or technique. And so we do the best we 
can, grabbing a bit of opportunity here, nurturing a conversation 
there, sprinkling it with prayer, seasoning it with our testimony... 
and leaving the results to God. 
   My friend, quit looking for a "guaranteed" method of sharing 
the Gospel. Just ask the Holy Spirit to fill you, and tell him 
you're ready and available to touch the life of another. Then start 
sprinkling the conversational salt! Believe me, thirsty souls will be drawn 
to the Living Water. 
   Father, please bring a prepared, hungry heart across my path 
today. Put a smile on my face, a song in my heart, and fill my mouth 
with words that will open a padlocked heart. [Joni Eareckson Tada
