Our text today says a man who has friends must show himself friendly, meaning that there is a price to pay for making interpersonal relationships effective. One of them is the use of the “five magic words, which are best taught in the nursery rhyme that says,
There are five (5) magic words (x3) that I know; Please, excuse me, I’m sorry, thank you, and the last one is I love you. (refrained by the Sure Hope Counseling Clinic).
The use of the magic words provides the opportunity to help others take your opinion seriously and do your bidding promptly. Each of these magic words shall be considerably expanded in this devotional in the coming days, God willing.
