Food for thought today: If you can’t say anything positive or at least constructive (in love), then, just don’t say anything at all. Really. Always being corrected and never giving a kind word could seriously get old, especially when the person you’re always like that with knows you’re just being spiteful or mean. Truth is, most of us are typically already too hard on ourselves, why add to that? Let’s learn to walk in love. Genuine love. The kind of love that makes our faith work (God-kind of love, agape, love that is a CHOICE not a feeling). This kind of love blesses those we touch in life, it never boasts, it never envies, it never hurts or destroys. It builds up, encourages, and brings life. I want to be a blessing not a curse to those in my life.
