🚩GRACE FILLED SPEECH ~ “Yes the goal isn't simply to AVOID all bad speech — it's to speak TRUTH in an uplifting manner. After all, even correction can be delivered in a way that's encouraging. Sometimes the problem is not so much what we say but HOW we SAY IT. — Oftentimes our tone of voice and body language convey much more than our words do. Nonverbal signals can reveal impatience, resentment, anger, malice, and bitterness — all of which tear others down. But wordless signals can instead edify by showing love, compassion, appreciation, and gratitude." ~ [Dr. Charles F. Stanley]🌹
