The word for me today
Proverbs 22:11

"He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend"

the word "gracious", in hebrew is "khane", which means "objective kindness/favour".

Ie. Be gracious in the way you approach people. Reveal the ways in which they need correction but do it gracefully. Do it with respect whether they deserve it or not, because Grace is "a gift which is neither deserved nor earned". Thus to be gracious is to give such a gift. Thus to be gracious in speech is to "give a gift" ie. to respect, even if it is not earned.

Anyone following my posts the last few days on OB will realise that there have been times when I haven't exactly followed that rule.

I repent of that now, and will resolve the issue shortly.
