Let Everything We Say be Good and Helpful<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

When we read about this verse, we might have thought that it is an impossible thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

How can we always control ourselves in our words?<\/span><\/p>\n

If we do some flashbacks, maybe there are so many useless words that come out of our mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Either it’s gossip or slander.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, let’s renew ourselves today.<\/span><\/p>\n

If in the past we’ve done those wrong-doings, hopefully in the future-with the help of Jesus, we’ll be better and better in choosing our words.<\/span><\/p>\n

And may we choose good and helpful words that will encourage others.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.<\/span><\/p>\n

— Ephesians 4:29<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Berkata-kata Yang Baik dan Membangun<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Ketika membaca ayat ini, mungkin terlintas di pikiran kita bahwa hal ini adalah mustahil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bagaimana mungkin kita selalu mengendalikan diri dalam berkata-kata?
\nJika kita kilas balik, mungkin terlalu banyak kata-kata yang sia-sia keluar dari mulut kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Entah itu gosip bahkan fitnah.<\/span><\/p>\n

Namun, mari perbaharui diri kita hari ini.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jika di masa lalu kita pernah melakukan hal-hal itu, semoga di masa depan dengan pertolongan Yesus, kita menjadi semakin baik dalam pemilihan kata-kata.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan semoga yang kita pilih adalah kata-kata yang baik dan membangun.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Janganlah ada perkataan kotor keluar dari mulutmu,\u00a0tetapi pakailah perkataan yang baik untuk membangun,\u00a0di mana perlu, supaya mereka yang mendengarnya, beroleh kasih karunia.<\/span><\/p>\n

— Efesus 4:29<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Control Our Tongues<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The tongue has no bones, but it’s strong enough to break a heart.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

From this quote, let’s do some soul-search.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe, we’ve done this many times.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over and over again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep hurting people with our words.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s try to mend our ways…<\/span><\/p>\n

For if we control our tongues, we would be able to control ourselves in every other way.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.<\/span><\/p>\n

— James 3:2<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mengendalikan Lidah ( Baca: Kata-Kata)<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Memang lidah tak bertulang, namun ia mampu membuat patah hati (kecewa, hancur berkeping-keping).<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Dari kutipan ini, mari memeriksa hati kita…<\/span><\/p>\n

Mungkin, kita sering melakukan hal ini…<\/span><\/p>\n

Lagi dan lagi…<\/span><\/p>\n

Terlalu sering kita menyakiti hati orang lain dengan perkataan kita…<\/span><\/p>\n

Mari membenahi diri…<\/span><\/p>\n

Karena jika kita mampu mengendalikan lidah (kata-kata) kita, maka kita dapat menguasai seluruh diri kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Kita semua sering membuat kesalahan. Tetapi orang yang tidak pernah membuat kesalahan dengan kata-katanya, ia orang yang sempurna, yang dapat menguasai seluruh dirinya.<\/p>\n

— Yakobus 3:2<\/p>\n
