How we say what we say matters. For example, we want to genuinely find out about how the person is doing spiritually. So we asked:"have you done your quiet time recently?" WRONG!!
We could have spent a little more effort in the question:" what is the lesson or something that has made the most impression in your recent quiet time?"
Because the first question evokes guilt and also as if is interrogating a person on something he should do. The second question is more to the point and also more closer to heart. At the ed of the day, we are not really concerned with whether a person has done daily QT repeatedly or not. The aim is to show care and concern for another person.
sometimes spending that little more effort in asking the correct questions make us better communicators and also we would generally receive better quality replies for what we asked.
