Encouragement

I’ve been doing a little griping on this here blog of mine and now I think it’s time for a little different tune. Yes “people talk” and it can put a downer on your day. But what if instead of slandering one another and tearing one another down, we encouraged one another and built one another up! What if when we felt like laying into someone, we just paid them a compliment? Ephesians 4:29 says we should only say things that build up others according to their needs and benefit those who listen. So I hope you can benefit from this post and instead of complaining, (something I’m guilty of too; just read some of these posts!) looking at what is good and verbalize it. A word of encouragement can mean the world to someone, it has to me.
