TOPIC: Communicate His Love (Rhapsody of Realities 17 December 2023)
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is pleasing to the use of edifying may minister grace unto the hearers (Ephesians 4:29).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:
As Christians, we have the Spirit of Christ. We’re the light of the world. We’re to think, love, talk, and conduct all our affairs in life like Him. Colossians 3:17 admonishes us to allow every detail in our lives—our words and actions—to align with the character of Christ: “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus….”
In other words, the character and presence of Jesus ought to radiate through you in your everyday walk. Like Him, let your words be gracious and graceful. Practice the love of Jesus through your words.

People remember you more for what you said and how you made them feel through your words. So, make up your mind that your comments will communicate the presence and love of Jesus. Let the world see Jesus in you. Let them feel His love in the words you speak.
In the same way that the Lord Jesus was confident to say, “…If you have seen me, you have seen the Father…” (John 14:9 CEV), your testimony ought to be, “If you have seen me, you have seen Jesus.” Let Him be who they see and hear when they listen to you.
Never use terrible, abusive, and insulting words, even when angry. Never be happy that your comments made someone else sad. That’s inconsistent with your nature of love. Be like Jesus: the Bible says, “…And the common people heard him gladly” (Mark 12:37). When people hear you, they should be glad because of your gracious and graceful words of life to them that stir the love for Christ in their hearts.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom in my heart, my words, and your love that’s seen and heard in me today. Through my observations, lives are transformed and improved; those you’ve placed in my path are blessed, encouraged, and edified by my gracious and graceful words, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Proverbs 16:24 – Pleasant words [are as] a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Ephesians 4:29 MSG – Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.
