i asked my brother in Christ for advice on how to apply today's verse [Ephesians 4:29] in my life. his response was this:
Best way I can describe it is to just let go. Simply just let them be, and LET GO. When we truly realize our capacity to be happy and feel good, we would ask no one to change anything about themselves so that we could feel good. When someone distresses us, the time we spend dwelling on that or talking smack, that's a moment spent frowning instead of smiling, living in hate instead of love, and missing out on what's really important in life. Don't let anymore precious breaths pass you by. Just let them be, let them say and do as they wish. Choose to keep your happiness, relinquishing it for nothing, especially people who don't have any kind words to say. I've been wronged plenty and I used to be all about vengeance and revenge. Didn't even realize that all I was doing was choosing to live in the hate and pain that someone else brought into my life, and now it's my fault for prolonging the pain. Just let it all go, choose to be happy, choose to feel good. We have the strongest power willing to fight our battles for us. We don't even have to lift a finger; He takes care of all for us. We just have to remain at peace and be happy. :]
thank you, brother.
