Proverbs 14:1 "A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own
hands."
Dear Lord, It has been awhile since I had time to post anything. This verse has been resonnating in my heart for while now. Unfortunately, I have seen quite a bit of home tearing down as I deal with students, parents, and friends. There are so many, Lord, who claim to know You, but when these women open their mouths about their husbands and children, one has to wonder.
Our Pastor once said that if there was "dirty laundry" in his family no one would ever know about it because it had no business being outside the home. We see it in movies, on TV shows, and in the lives of those with whom we rub elbows.
Lord, I have been one of them in the past, and saw the devastation it caused. Our homes should be a haven of refuge, not a battleground where loved ones are wounded, sometimes beyond repair. I want to be in the home building business...not in the demolition business. Help me and those who might read this, Lord, to never say anything negative about their spouses, children, or grandchildren or other family members. If there is correction needed, may it not be done in anger, but laced with grace speaking the truth in love so as to cause decipleship.
I love You, Lord and want the very best for my family. Help me, and other wives and mothers to be builders too.
