Our verse for the second half of May, Ephesians 4:29, says, “Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” We can’t do this all the time on our own. Pray and ask God for help! He loves helping us act more like Jesus.
