“Rotten Words is like Rotten food” – Why building up one another is healthy

In this difficult world today, many women are going through so much stress.  Because of this, we need some up building encouragement from one another.  However, us being the imperfect people that we are, we could have a tendency to do the opposite.  How could we as women continue to build one another up?  Here are four reasons we must take action in doing this.

     Rotten words are like rotten fruit.  This means what we say to each other could make an impact on our relationships.  It’s vital that we watch what we say and how we say it.  If our daily conversations are always contentious, we are going to have negative relationships.  We must try to support one other better in getting a new job, financing a new car or any other new endeavors we are tackling.  It all starts with our words.

     Upbuilding one another also takes humility.  We have to be more than sympathetic.  We must be empathetic toward one another.  Try putting ourselves in their positions.  Understanding what the person is going through will prevent us from thinking of ourselves consistently.  Sometimes everything in life doesn’t revolve around you.

     Building one another up takes maturity within ourselves.  We must take the initiative to come up to a person and say encouraging words to them when they are feeling down.  While this is something we all must discipline ourselves in doing, we as women need to work on this as well.  Sometimes it’s not easy to initiate encouragement because we may not know the right words to say.  But if we pray to Jehovah for this, he will give us the right words to say.

     Most importantly, building each other up is healthy in maintaining strong relationships.  If we continue to bring each other down, this will lead to emotionally unstable relationships.  By encouraging each other, our relationships will continue to thrive against negativity.  It takes effort on our part to fight against this.

     One last thing to add is that you can’t build someone up without incorporating love in it.  Love should be the foundation in expressing encouragement.  We can’t encourage each other without it.  That’s why it’s vital we let it be the inspiration behind building each other up.  Remember rotten words are like rotten fruit.  We wouldn’t eat rotten fruit, would we? So don’t consume rotten words in your vocabulary.
