Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29
False accusations, rumors, lies, judgements. If you have ever been on the other end of someone’s hatred and disdain towards you it down right hurts.
The mouth is a terrible weapon at times. In conjunction with often times emotions and not thinking words are blurted out that can wound deeply and even destroy relationships. That is why it is so critical to tame your tongue and maybe when in doubt of whether to say or text something to maybe wait.
Maybe you have wounded someone or you were the person on the receiving end. Whatever the case, make it your aim to live a godly peace filled life, being kind to those you don’t agree with or get along with. Don’t be the one with the ugly words spewing forth but take your mind and tongue to be in line with scripture by studying the word daily.
PRAYER: I am grateful for friends and family and for the ability to speak. I do not want to say anything that shames, guilts, or wounds anyone. Forgive me and help me forgive those who have been unkind to me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
