Ephesians 4:29
NIV
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what helps build others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
For this week I challenge you to find ways to encourage your friends, family and people. If you notice someone looks pretty, sings well, and writes a good post I want you to compliment and encourage them. If you notice someone is learning something, seek to edify them. If someone is struggling give them advice or speak a word to cheer them up.
This week I want us to focus on our words and work to say things that help people’s lives. We as Christians are there to edify and build up. Our words should give a positive impact on people. People must have our words in their hearts because it is Jesus speaking to them. I want us to make people’s days so they can feel the love and encouragement of God. Be intentional to thank your friends, celebrate others’ success by complimenting others telling people how valuable there are, telling your family how much you love them, and telling people how proud you are of them.
