"We can promote healthy communication by adjusting our style to honor each other." (Weekend to Remember notes p25)
It is amazing how I adjust my communication style to honor someone I don't know on the other end of the phone or behind a desk or at a drive through window; and yet I have to consciously think about honoring those I love the most with my communication style.
It is also amazing that when I do adjust my style how clear the communication becomes.
So I have a choice: Speak the way I want to or speak in a way that conveys love.
Proverbs 16:23-24 A wise man's heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction. Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
