If people don&#8217;t receive the message that you were trying to send to them, it doesn&#8217;t really matter how amazing that message was in the first place, As important as <strong>&#8216;Guarding your heart&#8217;</strong> may seem, you just sent a bunch of confused people wrestling with the idea of <strong>&#8216;God, you&#8217;re hot?&#8217;</strong> being something they need to consider more&#8230;</p>

<p><strong># What message are you wanting to say?</strong></p>
<p><strong># What message are people hearing you say?</strong></p>
<p>Two great questions to keep as your constant companions if you are someone who communicates to any great extent&#8230;</p>
