If you will be a servant
to this people today
and serve them,
and speak good words to them
when you answer them,
then they will be
your servants forever.
1 Kings 12. 7
(We may not know what to do
or how to handle a situation,
but we can always be kind.
How we respond
--instead of react--
always changes the outcome.
Unexpected kindness and grace
nurtures the relationship
far more than we can comprehend.
Words are non-returnable.
Choose carefully.)
O LORD,
Please place a gate over our lips
that only kind words
can get through.
Help us to bring Your grace
and peace and kindness
to volatile situations
and everyday encounters
with those we know,
strangers, and even those
who stand against us.
May Your love prevail,
soak our very words,
and change our hearts in this.
