“This historic Christian doctrine of the divinity of Christ does not simply
mean that Jesus is like God. It is far more radical than that. It means
that God is like Jesus.” - Elton Trueblood

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. (Proverbs 16:24 ESV)

Gracious words.
Let the words you speak be seasoned with grace,
Upbuild and encourage without flattery,
Care, correct, redirect, and rebuke but don't abase.
Speak the truth in love then let the words be
Sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
Like a bee collecting pollen from a flower
To produce healthy honey in a comb in its hive,
Feed on the full counsel of God's Word that will save and empower;
That faltering faith and flagging hope it will revive
With sweetness of soul and health to the body.
As a bee produces honey that is sweet to the taste
So your words from meditating on the Word
Will yield a sweetness of being that won't go to waste
In the minds of those who such words have heard.
Bringing sweetness of soul and health to the body.
