Divine Call

"The question we must
ask our heart is, "Am I
comfortable under the
eye of God? Or is God
getting too close?" We are
strange and lovely
creatures. We can ache
for God tremendously yet
find ourselves getting
nervous if God gets too
close. After all, the closer
God gets, the more we
hear the call to be
divinized. It is both exciting
and frightening to hear that call."
— MacRina Wiederkehr —

Nothing but say only Good ...

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. — Ephesians 4:29

We can use our words to be cute. We can use our words to appear impressive. We can use our words to win arguments. We can use our words to defend ourselves. We can use our words to lie and distort. We can use our words to do many things, but God wants us to use our words to bless.
So when we speak, if our words do not bless and benefit those to whom we direct them, then we are to simply not say anything.

Some elders are correct - "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all."
