Look in your cabinet at your assortment of spices. They certainly do enhance our foods as we appropriately use them. Some are right for some foods and others for other foods; good cooks learn that. If we dumped all of these into a recipe, it would produce a concoction that would be inedible, and would likely make you very sick, even if you could get it down. You see, spices were not made for that; they were made to give us hints of flavor and dashes that create delicacies, which we come to savor and relish. Our words and our presence can be a spice that delights or an overpowering taste that makes others wonder what on earth we were thinking. Try the spices of kindness, gentleness, humility, patience; I read in the Book that the Spirit can produce this and other fruit in our lives.
“Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man” (Colossians 4:6 KJV).
