You’ve probably heard the saying, “You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” It’s a good thing to remember when we’re dealing with people, too. You can find a similar principle in Colossians 4:6: “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt.”

Speaking to others in a gracious manner can carry rebukes and criticisms much further into the heart than an attitude of harshness, and our speech should always be tinted with the gospel. Let’s be reminded of what it’s like to live the Sweet Life.
