Devotional
"Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt." - Colossians 4:6
"But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgement for every empty word they have spoken." - Jesus, Matthew 12:36
I can definitely say I've spoken many "empty" words in my life. Words can be empty in a number of ways--empty of truth, empty of grace, empty of class or noble thinking, empty of purpose or value. But words are a big deal to God. Language matters to Him.
As we go through all these transitions, as we work in close quarters, as we have opportunities to speak with clients and potential clients, let's remember to let the standard of what we say be God's grace.
Paul said, "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable . . . think about such things." (Philippians 4)
If we aren't even supposed to be thinking things that don't measure up to that standard, it's probably a pretty good standard for what we speak!
Scorecard
We had a pretty good month for new business, and we're starting to get some steady production in commercial. Remember to brainstorm possible contacts for commercial policies and look for opportunities to cross-sell existing clients. One more month for 3rd Quarter scorecard!
