Make the Most of Every Day

Forgive my delay in posting. I was away at a writer's conference the past five days and time slipped through my fingers. :)

Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

It's a new week and the last couple days of the month. I personally can't believe how fast this year is zipping by. When tomorrow comes to a close we'll be half way through 2015 already.

These verses challenge me to make the most of every day. To be ready to give the reason why my life is set apart and different.

I have to ask myself though whether or not my conversation is always full of grace. Ouch. I fail. There are times when I speak out and say things I shouldn't and then later regret. Sometimes I even know as I start to say it that I shouldn't. I feel that tug from the Holy Spirit telling me to keep my thoughts to myself. Sadly, I don't always listen. I'm thankful that Jesus forgives me when I fail. 

As you start a new week, pray to have conversations full of grace, seasoned with salt, willing to share the hope you have in Jesus Christ. You might be surprised to discover the way God uses you this week to speak His truths. Then check back here and tell your story. 

Praying you a blessed day and week.
