The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down. Proverbs 14:1
What kind of folly tears down our home or family? What undoes the very things we are trying to do?
1. Harsh words
2. Criticism
3. The silent treatment
4. Mocking
5. Name calling
6. Unforgiveness
7. Bitterness
8. Gossip
9. Discouragement
10. Comparison
As you take a good look at your life, do you find yourself guilty of any of these? You can stop yourself from tearing down by the power of the Holy Spirit. Choose today to be a builder.
Blessings, Diane
