Ephesians 4:29-32

There have been times in my life when my anger and harsh words have hurt others deeply. The Lord finally got my attention and showed me a pattern to follow:
Ephesians 4:29-32.

When I read your request, tears came to my eyes, and the above words came out of my mind into the computer.


This is what I hear God saying:

--Don't grieve the Holy Spirit by using words that do not build up

--with God's help, get rid of negative actions and attitudes

--always be kind and tender-hearted toward others

--forgive others who wrong you, just as God through Christ forgives you.

--apply this in all the relationships in your life
