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
Why do people judge and criticize others? The truth is many people hold others up to a higher standard than they have for themselves. I know someone who brags so much about their own family and accomplishments and can complement their own children but is tight lipped when it comes to anyone else. They find fault, they shift blame while taking zero accountability themselves. We all know someone like that. The tongue can cause so much damage when it is not tamed. We need to speak words of encouragement, affirmation and life. Speak what is holy and helpful to others. Let us build each other up and be a blessing to one another.
