2 Samuel 3:1-39; Micah 6:1-16; Romans 11:13-36

Even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives. 1 Peter 3:1,  NKJV

Won without a word! More important than right words for sharing Christ, is the right attitude and behaviour in showing Christ. The beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit is not gender specific. Read 1 Peter 3 in its entirety. The standard set of graces for every follower of Christ includes creating harmony, showing compassion and love, having a tender heart and a humble spirit (v. 8). And when someone does ask us to speak-up, our response is to be gentle and respectful (v. 15). Peter calls it our “good conduct (behaviour) in Christ” (v. 16, NKJV). —P. Ramsay

May His beauty rest upon me, as I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel, seeing only Him.  —Kate Wilkinson
