As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. ~ Ephesians 4:1-6
As Cindy pointed out in today's post At The Well, it is important not to tear our husbands down through our words, whether in front of them or behind their backs. We should insetad build them up...always! Praise them in front of others. Convey to them how much we appreciate and cherish them!
Always remember that we are representing Christ through our actions and words. If we speak negatively (in any way) about our husbands, Jesus will know! Nothing is hidden from Him.
Let's strive to speak highly of our husbands when we're around other women. Speaking our negative thoughts will only bring shame to us, our husbands and our Savior!
