Day 26: I Said That?
Dale Carnegie's first principle
Don't
Criticize
Complain
Condemn
Oh how a conversation can go sour in a moment when two or more gathered...
Criticizing others to make ourselves feel better
Complaining about others to blame others for our discontent
Condemning others to take condemnation from ourselves
Hmm...
The breaking down of others to build us up~
Unwholesome talk!
But
God said,
"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." Ephesians 4:29
Unwholesome Talk~
Destructive, Damaging Talk
About others~
to others
About "your" self ~
to yourself.
Yup
Yourself!
Does that mean unwholesome talk about me?
Think about it
The weight of unwholesome talk:
I am not ________________
I can't ________________
I will never ________________
Talk that does not build me up, but breaks me down~
Unwholesome Talk!
How do you talk about yourself?
How do you talk to yourself?
What words are swirling in your head?
But if God does not speak unwholesome words
to break us down,
why do we?
What if you replaced your talk with His talk~
I have been chosen by God and adopted as His child. Ephesians 1
I am forgiven by the grace of Christ. Ephesians 1
I am free from condemnation. Romans 8:1-2
Therefore,
let's
lose another pound that weighs us down and
Fast
from any
Unwholesome Talk~
about yourself & others
by walking with the
Wholesome One
Who changes all your
"I am nots"
"I can'ts"
"I will nevers"
to
I am
I can
I will
because
His WORDS Say so~
