There's always that itch to talk about what Sally did today or what's going on in Ian's home; but did you ever stop to think that maybe if you talk to that person rather than about them, you just might be able to help.... you know, the perfect solution to the problem?
There is a saying "the deepest wounds in life come not from swords but words". If you don't believe it, look at the wounded walking; they're all around you!
Are you yourself still struggling with the hurtful words of an insensitive parent, a school teacher, a friend or a boss?
Proverbs 18:21 'The tongue has the power of life and death'....what you say can make a life changing difference.Your words can heal or they can be that knife that digs deep into the heart, cutting open a fresh wound.
Words when spoken are like feathers dispersed in the wind, they cannot be retrieved. You CAN'T take them back! your thoughts do not necessarily have to be uttered all the time. if you have to speak, speak only the positive- don't destroy a great friendship because that's exactly what GOSSIP would do!
Remember: Proverbs 12:18 "Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing".
Are you a gossip? Mend your ways!
The Lord is good all the time!
