GOSSIP: Why do we love it so much? It's a definate way to ruin any relationship. I'm guilty of it myself. I try to not to spread it, but we all want to know what someone else has heard about someone else. Are our lives that boring, meaningless, and terrible that we have to try to ruin someone elses to feel better about our own? Your tongue is the most powerful muscle in your body. Saying just one word can either lift up or tear down.
A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret. Prov 11:13
A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends. Prov 16:28
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts.
Prov 18:8
A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much. Prov 20:19
Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down. Prov 26:20
So, yeah, it needs to stop!
I was going to talk about family today, but something happened referring to gossip and I had to talk about it.
But one question I have been wondering is why is it so hard to keep in contact with family? Especially when they live so close.
I don't know, just think about it! And think about what you say!
