“Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.”
Colossians 4:6 NLT
I admit that when someone is using abusive speech towards me they receive a “back in your box “ reply rather than a gracious reply. This comes from years of bullying and a determination to never go there again. Perhaps my edges need softening. This happened yesterday, the speak was told “do not speak to me like that!” I then walked away to talk with someone else. I think the problem for me was they made me angry and it took an hour to simmer down.
Otherwise I can be gracious. However, I think I can improve, with God’s grace. Amen !
