The foundation of communication is trust. In His sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, "Simply let your Yes be Yes, and your No, No. Anything beyond this comes from the evil one" Matt. 5:37. Jesus tells us that we must say what we mean and mean what we say. We cannot have high quality communication, without high-level trust. If we cannot trust what the other person is saying, eloquent words are meaningless. So, whether we are working at establishing a relationship or rebuilding channels of communication, it has to begin with TRUST.
Jesus established for us that trust is based on two words; Yes and No. How we choose to use these words becomes the factory where trust is assembled.
Question to Ponder: Is the way in which I am using my words eroding trust or building it?
