I need constant reminders.

Ephesians 4:29 “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.”
My head is in the negative again today so I'm glad I was reminded of this verse.  I need to keep my negative thoughts from turning into "unwholesome talk".  I need to be a blessing to others with what I say and not a bother.
I need to get over my disappointment in how yesterday went and remember that when I hold someone to my expectations I will get disappointed.  I need to just love and serve them no matter how they treat me because I'm not doing it for anything in return, I'm doing it to serve my Lord.
I also need to remember that God created me the way that I am and I need to be okay with that.  Right now I'm really struggling with it though.
So today it feels like mostly blunder but I'm hoping to turn it around to blessing.

  1. You are not alone, Bev! I have times like this, too, and I know just about everyone else does, too. God knows we are but dust and He forgives our frailties and He loves us anyway.
