One of the few areas of life no one has EVER nor will EVER perfect is Communication
Romans 12:1-2 (NLT)
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable.

Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
