Building Up!

Building others up and Up!

Text:

Ephesians 4:29-32, "Let no bad words come out of your mouth,
except what is good for buildling up others" (paraphrased).

Lesson:

It's good when you go out of your way to build up someone.   How many people do you know who always encourage people, and never say a negative or bad word about someone?  Can other children say this about you?  God wants us to rather seek to build others up by what we say and do.  We need to show kindness and love, rather than being nasty and hateful.

A kind word is like the oil that takes the friction out of an engine and makes it run smoothly.  The gears mesh together to turn the wheels and oil is needed so that they turn easily and freely.  Everyday we interact with people like a set of gears.

With no oil the gears grind and groan.  Friendships breakdown and our relationships with others crumble like a run-down building.  Make sure you build each other up by sharing a skyscraper of love, kindness and affection!

God bless!
