How do you reply??? By being gracious or vicious!!

Good morning!! What a wonderful day the Lord has made!!! Let us rejoice and enjoy what God has given us. How blessed we truly are!!!!
I read Max Lucado's daily devotional and it really struck home. How we should act. Colossians 4:5-6 "Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone."
Let's look at verse 5. We should be wise in our contacts with non-believers, making the most of our opportunities to tell them the Good News of salvation. What opportunities do you have?? Have you told someone about Jesus through your actions? Open the door for someone? Help someone carry something?? Let Christ shine through you will actions.
Verse 6 we should not only tell others about Christ, but we should be gracious in what we say. The old expression "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words shall never harm me." This is truly a lie. Words may strike, and cut deeply, they last a long time, and heal slowly.
Our conversation with others should be gracious, encouraging, not wrathful and spiteful. No matter what we do, the non-believer is waiting, watching and keeping tabs of what we, the believers, say and do.
As Bro Lou and many have said, if you were on trial for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you. Look at Ephesians 4:25-27 "So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neigbors the truth,for we are all parts of the same body. And "don't sin by lettinganger control you. Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold tothe devil."
