Speak with purpose

Posted March 7, 2010
by Holy Host

There’s a connection and bond that happens between people when they communicate honestly and openly with one another, not just making small talk but having conversation with substance. A recent study found that “Happy People Talk More and With More Substance.” This is different than talking for the sake of hearing your own voice. These happy people spent more time having meaningful conversations than other participants involved in the study.

Not all talking spurs a bond between people. Words have power and meaning as long as they have substance. The Bible talks about this kind of meaningful connection. As Romans 12:15 and 1 Peter 3:8-9 point out, there is an importance of connecting with someone on an emotional level – not just a superficial one.

Romans 12:15, “Rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn.”

1 Peter 3:8-9, “Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult…”

In Hebrews 10 you are reminded to gather together and communicate in a way that will “spur one another on toward love and good deeds. “

Hebrews 10:24-25, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together…”

There’s a harmony that comes from a balance of being connected with God and connected with people. This harmony and intensity can happen when you decide to tell real and honest things about yourself and listen to other people do the same.
