Friday's Living Water

Scripture

…praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the
word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been
imprisoned;

that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak.

Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.

Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you
will know how you should respond to each person.
Colossians 4:3-6
