How Can I Build Others Up with My Words and Life?
Solomon said the wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
Many of us build something up and tear it down at the same time.
We build with our prayers and tear down with our words on Sunday.
We build with kindness and tear down with criticism on Monday.
We build with encouragement and tear down with worry.
The first step to becoming a builder is to stop being a wrecker.
Stop the harsh comments to your spouse.
Stop the cutting words to your children.
Stop the gossip about your friends.
Then start building.
With encouragement.
With patience.
With consistent love.
The house that women build with both hands becomes a place of life.
What needs building, not wrecking, in your life today?
