What we say
*Ephesians 4:29-32
Throw away vain and empty words.
They advance in ungodliness to greater and greater heights (2 Timothy 2:16)
One of my former colleagues used to have frequent fits of anger at work.
He threw papers, muttered curses, and hurled abuse at others.
Other colleagues and I who had experienced this began to speak negatively about her.
For weeks we complained together about that coworker.
Then one afternoon, when I was about to complain about her recent anger, a friend stopped me and said,
“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to talk negatively about her anymore.” I was startled and then embarrassed.
Thanks to what my friend said, I realized I had been gossiping at work.
We promised not to say anything negative about our colleague and instead focused on the many good things about her.
Talking about your coworkers or complaining about your boss might seem innocent at first, but the byproducts of such conversations are far from harmless.
When we engage in such conversations, the seeds of hostility, resentment, and anger sprout in our hearts.
Switching from negative to encouraging words didn't change the coworker's behavior or eliminate subsequent outbursts.
But my heart changed and I found greater satisfaction and joy.
- Emily Marshalek (Idaho, USA)
Prayer God, guard my tongue so that I do not engage in negative or divisive conversations.
In Jesus' name I pray.
amen.

Publisher's Review
The power of community
This ministry not only supplies what the saints lack,
It overflowed with the many thanksgivings people gave to God.
(2 Corinthians 9:12)
My daughter's unexpected early birth completely overturned my expectations about parenthood and life with a newborn.
My husband and I went to the hospital every day for over a month.
It was to stay by my daughter's side while doctors and nurses cared for her in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Even while going back and forth to the hospital, I had to recover from major surgery, and my husband had a work schedule, so we spent each day without a moment to breathe.
So, for us, food preparation took a back seat.
Fortunately, the community came to our rescue.
Friends, family, colleagues, and church members have been preparing and delivering food to us for over three months.
They recognized our needs and extended a helping hand in a way that felt like a miracle.
I will never forget that gift of care and will always be grateful.
The way the community helped us showed us how God's love for us is manifested in our daily lives.
God cares for our needs through community and comforts and encourages us when times are tough.
The writers in this issue urge us to look more carefully for opportunities to care for and encourage those around us.
To find such opportunities, you have to be attentive and alert.
It doesn't have to be perfect, and it's okay if you don't meet every visible need.
But God, who is always with us and cares for our needs, calls us to do what we can.
We pray that each of us will respond to that call with faithful and loving actions, expressing our gratitude to God who holds us in His abundant love.
