Talk That Builds Up
I’m a morning person, not an evening person. What that means is that after the sun goes down, my filters go down with it. If you expect to have a good conversation with me in the evenings, beware! There’s no knowing what I’ll say!
My friends probably think I’m just way more fun in the evenings! But I’ve really regretted some of the things I’ve said.
Think about it: your words either bring a little bit of life, or they bring a little bit of death, to every relationship you have.
That’s why the Bible gives us this advice:
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 (Eph 4:29, NIV).
Remember, when your talks builds others up, the one who will be built up the most will be you.
