Build Someone Up..Don't tear them down..

Last night thinking "What should my Sunday School lesson should be this week?" Right away God showed me that I should teach about how to build someone up. In my Sunday School class there is a brother and sister. My sister has been telling me how the brother would just sit there and tear his sister down.(Red Flag!) It drives me crazy when brothers(or boys..) sit there and just tear their sisters(Or girls...) down like their feelings mean nothing. And same with girls! (Girls are just as guilty.) Girls shouldn't be tearing their brothers down. Us as Christians should building each other up. When you see one of your fellow peers did something great, don't be jealous! You should tell them wow what a great job! If your a Christian and believe in the Bible check out what it has to say about building someone up: 1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing."

1 Corinthians 14:26"What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up."

 Hebrews 10:25"Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."

Colossians 3:15"And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful."

It's really important that we build one another up. If we tear them down over and over again we are just leaving more scars for them. What you say to one another really effects and hurts them. I've been there on both sides. The one dishing it out and the one sitting there hurting. I'm just as guilty. I never really thought about what I say could effect someone until I saw someone younger than me hurt from what someone said.

If I ever said anything that brought you down, I'm deeply sorry. If I ever again say something that hurts you, please come to me and tell me. I don't want you to be mad at me forever. I want you all to call me out when I hurt you.

 

I love you all! And I think you all are AMAZING!
