Timing is everything. You can know the motive of your heart and speaking words of honesty and confrontation to others in this. Knowing what to say is usually the easy part, how to say it. It takes much more humility, patience and wisdom. The next mark or trait is gentleness. Not only are acceptable words circumstantial and seasonal, but they're gentle. A soft or gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
