You have a choice every day to lift or divide. That sounds like a bra commercial, doesn’t it? Ha! I’m sure you’ve been in the isle of the grocery store, at the mall, or pumping gas at the station and heard them. People who are speaking to each other with no respect, no love, willfully putting each other down, making sure their “last words” are hurtful. This intentional negative speaking is a choice and undermines our society. We see it daily through media as well. We have such power with our words. Power to lift up, or power to divide. Be mindful of how you talk to others. Take your time and think before you speak. Give the gift of encouragement today.
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Ephesians 4:29 ESV
