SOFT ANSWERS
"The meek are those who give soft answers
to rough questions." (Author unknown)
Private, uninterrupted prayers softly spoken,
often produce soft answers.
Reading the Scriptures, visualizing their historical
and social content, pondering their connotative as
well as denotative meanings, opening their interpretations
to the Spirit...creates within us... soft answers.
Praising the Lord for our every circumstance,
passing on thoughts and words of love to those we deem
as unlovable...These open the door to soft answers.
In sum...there are no rough questions that soft
answers cannot overcome.
A soft answer turneth away wrath...and roughness.
