My Favorite Inspirational Saying Comes From Ephesians 4:29

My favorite inspirational saying comes from Ephesians 4:29 from the Bible. The verse says "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."

The reason that this is my favorite inspirational saying is that it addresses how God wants people to relate to one another and it can fix a big problem in society. People treat each other really bad and some of the greatest harm comes from what people say to one another.

This verse inspires me to be really thoughtful about what I allow to come out of my mouth. I can have a positive and helpful effect upon people by following the direction of this verse. I am not to let one bad word come out of my mouth regarding another person. And what I do say is suppose to be words that build that person up according to what they need and what is best for them.

It is really a life changing concept that applies to every aspect of my life with people. I think of it every day and try to apply it to my interactions with people every day. I have it memorized and I regularly quote the verse and meditate on it.
