So far, we have talked a lot about the danger of speaking without thinking, but today I want to change the focus. I want to encourage you with the most beautiful purpose your voice has: to build up. Let us "encourage one another and build one another up."
To edify means to build. You and I have the privilege of being architects in the lives of others. In a world where it is so easy to tear down with criticism, mockery, and negativity, let us be builders of impeccable speech, action and the Warrior's Way.
Think about the power you have today. You can use your voice to remind your spouse how much you value them. You can use your words to tell your children that you believe in them and that the Spirit has a purpose for their lives. You can send a message to that friend who is going through a dark time and be the light they need. Don't hold back your good words; use them to lift someone up today.
Reflect: Who in your circle desperately needs to hear a word of encouragement today? What are you going to say to them?
Meditate: I want to be a builder, not a destroyer with my words. Put in my mind and in my mouth the exact words to lift the spirits of those around me today.
Warrior of Lite
