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.
