Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a ruling rightly given.
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Delivering truth to someone is a special craft.

Our well-intentioned words can enlighten and heal or trample their souls into undeserved grief.

Golden apples arrayed on a silver tray is analagous to gracious and beautiful words delivered gently and thoughtfully to the right person at just the right moment.

Unsolicited commentary may have its place—albeit more infrequently—but when solicited, it presents opportunity to speak the truth in love.

Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine the path they’re walking.

Be that apple of gold that creates change and leaves a lasting impression.
