^ Edifying counters Unwholesome

So this was what God was causing my heart to reflect upon.

29Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favor) to those who hear it. - amplified version

29Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. - NASB version


The word 'Unwholesome' caught my attention. I was reflecting on this. And I was asking myself if i only speak to edify. Wah isn't this tough, cant talk nonsense ah? Let NO Unwholesome word! Good for edification according to the need of the moment. My mouth is so difficult to control and sometimes I do say not edifying stuff. It may not be vulgarities but other words that can hurt.

I feel God is teaching me in this area. Recently I talked to this medic and what hearing what I said teared. He said he was touched by what I said. But I taken aback for awhile. All I emphasized was that I have their welfare in my heart.

Tmr I've got to "fightfire" because of some complain.
I pray that even in that situation I WILL BE EDIFYING and I WILL BE A BLESSING.
