“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”
We have all heard it at one point in our lives! But the fact is, it’s just not true! Words always affect our lives in one form or another. And, another thing that you have probably heard is, “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all!” We as Christians always need to be careful that what we say is building people up and not breaking them down!
Gossip actually serves to break the trust of those the people around you. We also need to observe the Golden Rule here…..”Would I like people to say this about me?”
If we are striving to be like Jesus, we should most certainly be careful about the words that come out of our mouths! If we want to be fully surrendered to God, He should have full control of our mouths and what we say!
OH BE CAREFUL LITTLE MOUTH WHAT YOU SAY!
Proverbs 18:8 – “The words of gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man’s inmost parts.”
