A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Prov 15:1
Being gentle is not always easy. Sometimes people pushes buttons and say things that they should not have. The flesh wants to say, "Let them have it"-"I'm going to tell them a piece of my mind". However; it may make you feel better only temporary to go off. Can you be strong and give them a "Good Word"-a "Soft response"?
Lets be reminded that others must see the LIGHT in us in order to be motivated to become a Light. Give someone a kind word instead of a stone.
Your kindness may be the only kindness they have seen in a while. It takes two to argue and one to STOP it.
Be BLESSED and Highly FAVORED of the Lord.

We shouldn't keep our light hidden under a bushel, but shine for everyone to see. We should love the Lord with all our heart.
