Truth or lie?

Truth will stay for a long time but lies are soon discovered. Nobody likes to be lied about. It hurts really badly. Plus it's not fair to them. It is like being talked about behing your back or it feels like your best friends has back-stabbed you. What do you do when you hear these lies? SPEAK UP! Don't be mean about it or hurt them back with more gossip but instead talk to them, tell them the truth, and then change the subject. It is a very good way to get the truth about someone goin! Same thing goes if it's one of your friends and not you. Stand up for them and be a leader. God wants us to be the head and not the tail. So be known for your truthfulness. It will come a time when you have friends cause they trust you. It's worth it!

Proverbs 12:19 Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.

The tounge

Don't you just love to share a secret, other wise, known as gossip? If you do, you need to tame that tounge! Don't get me wrong, it is okay to tell secrets to your best friends about yourself but it is wrong to be spreading things about other people. Proverbs 17:9 says " He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter seperates even close friends." So see? Think about this....how would you feel if someone was talking behind your back? Say that you just got into a fight with a friend and all kinds of people are talking about it. How would you react to that? Next time you are tempted to share something about someone else, put yourself in the other persons shoes. Prevent from even hearing gossip that way you won't be sinning when you spread it. And if you have sinned by doing that, God is a forgiving God. Just ask him.

Proverbs 16:28
A troublemaker plants a seed of strife; gossip seperates the best of friends.

How Much He Cares

It says in the bible that even God cares for the sparrows that are only worth a couple pennies.....so just think about that. Then think about how much more he cares for you. God says you are precious and priceless and of great worth. He even knows the amount of hairs on your head! WOW! Sometimes life gets you down....you feel like your unloved and not cared for anymore. Like when you get a new baby sister and you feel like she is replacing you and that your parents love her more. Or if your an adult, you don't have a good relationship with a family member and they are always letting you down. These are ways that you feel neglected at times. So here is the answer to your problems. Talk to God. Tell him you feel uncared for. He knows you feel that way and in his special ways he will tell and show you that he loves and cares for you. He will never leave your side and he is always there for you. So when you get let down, turn to him. He is always there.

Luke 12:6-7
What is the price of five sparrows? A couple of pennies? Yet god does not forget a single one of them. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to him than a flock of sparrows.
