'A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievious words stir up anger.' Prov 15:1 In light of the love theme we discussed yesterday, I would think that it takes great love for ur neighbour to give a soft answer. It even takes greater Love for God to give a soft answer to someone you do not even know. I will give a couple of examples You are driving down the road and someone just cuts in front of you, the immediate response would be to press on your hooter, drive to their side and tell them to drive properly, or u can just step on your brakes, calm urself down and continue ur journey. You jump onto a combi and conductor tells u that he doesn't have a coin. You can choose to shout at him and tell him why he shld have change, or u can chill and discuss a way forward. You accused of something u didn't do, u r pissed off and decide let me give them a piece of me, u end up saying stuff that was unnecessary, or u can just chill and respond politely. Someone just starts shouting at you, whether they are justified or unjustifed, a soft answer more often than not results in a better ending.
Guys let us pray hat God gives us the wisdom to respond softly and politely, yes, even wen we r right and the other party is wrong. I believe responding calmly and softly not only shows respect but it also demonstrates a greater level of Love for God and for the next person. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tribewithavibe" group.
