“DO NOT LET ANY UNWHOLESOME TALK COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS, BUT ONLY WHAT IS HELPFUL FOR BUILDING OTHERS ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS, THAT IT MAY BENEFIT THOSE WHO LISTEN.” EPHESIANS 4:29
We are not only defined by our actions, but we are also defined by our words. The words that come out of our mouths and the way that we say them allows others to define our character. We must cling to our Lord God and not let go. We must live his word. When we allow him to be first in our lives our actions will represent his ways. Our words should also follow suit. We should reflect how we live with words that support our actions. We should not be negative in what we speak. As children of our great God in heaven we should have joy in our hearts because of all the great promises he has provided to us. If we believe his promises then the joy that we have, not only allows us to live a life full of peace and joy but should also be reflected by the words we speak. We should encourage others and not be negative and tear them down. When someone visits with you, they should walk away feeling encouraged and with an attitude that helps them through each and every situation. It is normal to be sad, angry and any other characteristic that reflects our emotions. But, with the joy of Jesus we should be able to handle those situations with love, patience and peace. As we look to the Lord for our help there is always great hope and excitement and not fear and worry. Our words should be words of peace, love and understanding. PRASIE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
