Wednesdays in the Word

"Let no unwholesome word proceed out of your mouth,
but what is good for necessary edification that it may impart grace to the hearers." Eph.4:29
(unwholesome here is 'foul, rotten or putrefied')

I think when it comes to swearing, this verse says everything it needs to.
I may not do that,
but do my words impart GRACE to people who hear me?
Ouch!
What does grace SOUND like?

Pretty sure it doesn't sound CRITCAL.
Pretty sure it doesn't resemble COMPLAINING.
Pretty sure it promotes others and blesses them and shows them God's favor.
I've got to work on that!

Let's impart some GRACE today!

~Becky
