Plot Twist: The Heavenly Rescue

Image
In the grand theater of Heaven, where celestial bodies shine like warriors’ shields, Revelation 12 unfolds a story that rivals the greatest epics of all time. A woman, radiant as the sun, stands cloaked in light, crowned with twelve stars, laboring to bring forth a child. This is no ordinary child—He is destined to rule the nations.

This might be a typical response when you are strongly opinionated and feel your view is superior to others. However, such words are condescending, diminish self-esteem, and come across as arrogant. When my friend called my attention to it, I later apologized and promised to do better next time. Speaking is an art, and we can learn the art of speaking skillfully and professionally.
