Edifying is good
SonLight Daily Devotional Daily Devotional for June 11

Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."

Christians that look on the bright side of things tend to edify others. They go about with a smile upon their face, and words that speak encouragement to others. They are a pleasure to be around, as they go about serving others in the love of God. They are content with their lot in life, going about seeking who they can share Christ Jesus with.

They are always thinking as Paul wrote on "whatsoever is good" Philippians 4:8. They love to be around other members in the Body of Christ, to hear their portions. The Christian that has the right attitude can be used mightily of God. They do not get tired serving the Lord, but they are energized by the power of the Holy Spirit day after day. Their heart is broken in prayer for the brother or sister that is hurting. Romans 8:26 says, "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered".

Love divine will always edify because it is it's nature to do so. Walk in love. Walk in hope. Walk in peace. You will have a tongue of silver, redeeming the time as you live in the Finished Work of John 19:30.
