Inside Out

Ephesians 4:25-32

25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.

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. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

My Thoughts:

Sometimes I wonder if blogging what's in my heart is "unwholesome talk". I have been pretty candid about how I feel and blog about my feelings without pretence. To me, my blog is my personal diary to express and release my trapped thoughts and feelings. I don't share those things with my offline friends at all. So to know me well, my blog is the best place to begin with.

So do what I write at my blog help build others up?

I have learnt that certain people who read my blog do get encouraged most times because they know that they are not alone in their situations. For not only do I blog about my joy and sorrows, I blog about my solutions too. I hope that by sharing what I have gone through would help my readers who are in similar situations.

Dear Lord,
I pray that whatever I say will be edifying to my listeners. In my transparency let me be a beacan of light to those who need some enlightenment. Let me not be a stumbling block to anyone as I share my thoughts.

In Jesus'name I pray. Amen.
