Good Manners Cost Nothing

Colossians 4:6 (AMP) says, "Let your speech at all times be gracious and pleasant, seasoned with salt, so that you may never be at a loss to know how you should respond to anyone."

Expressing good manners doesn't require grand gestures or significant effort; often, small acts of politeness, respect, and consideration leave a lasting impact. A simple 'please' or 'thank you', holding a door open, or offering a smile can brighten someone's day and create a ripple of positivity. These are acts of blessing and should never be underestimated.

Good manners foster a culture of respect and kindness, making interactions more pleasant and uplifting. In a world where harsh words and rude behaviour are all too common, choosing to engage with others courteously and respectfully is a quiet yet powerful testimony to the grace and love we are called to exhibit, particularly when we are representatives of Jesus.
