Knowing What to Say and When to Say It!

[Fishndude]

Does anyone here know someone who has this gift??

I have a friend who has "it". I often read his writing and sometimes get to listen to him speak "it" in person. He is a master of the keyboard and always, ALWAYS, knows not only what to say but when and how to say "it".
I can only aspire to be half as well spoken.

Anyway, my point is that since 2011 has been a really crappy year for me so far, I am looking in all directions for something positive to cling to and this person inspires me.

Trying harder in 2011!!!

What/who inspires you?????

My Daughter. She inspires me to be a better dad, and a better person. She is daddys girl and will be what I raise her to be.

It is a wonderful attribute to be able to say things the best way possible, whether written or spoken. I wish I could do better at this kind of thing but sometimes my emotions get the best of me (or that little devil on my shoulder). Among other things the word "grace" comes to mind. Wish I had more of it.

God inspires me. What you say is a reflection of your heart and if your in a bad place internally, it spews from your mouth. Putting faith in people will only disappoint you.

James; he spoke of the tongue in chapter 1:

19 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger. 20 For human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. . . 26 If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile. 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world (James 1:19-20, 26-27, emphasis mine).27

In chapter 2, James once again deals with the tongue:

12 Speak and act as those who will be judged by a law that gives freedom. . . 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it? (James 2:12, 14-16, emphasis mine).

I had always thought that the expression “slow to speak” meant something like, “Think before you speak.” in the light of James 3, it must mean, “Be reluctant to speak.” James writes to us in chapter 1 about “bridling our tongues,” and then goes on to instruct us to “speak . . . as those who will be judged. . .” in chapter 2 (verse 12). In James 2:14ff. he exposes the hypocrisy of speaking a word of blessing without doing anything to be a blessing. James has indeed been talking about the tongue.
