When will people learn that gossiping always leads to destruction? The Bible is flooded with verses warning against slander, gossip and the power of words. I've had to really pray for forgiveness tonight, and for patience. I don't know why people think what they do, or assume awful things, but for some reason that is whats happening. If they would only ask, I could tell them the truth...
Gossiping leads to such destruction; separation of family and friends. I've been hurt, and am near my breaking point. Part of me has such a desire to confront and yell and scream. But I know ultimately that makes me no better than them, and I desperately want to be better than this. I desperately want to forgive them, and to move on. And yet Satan keeps tugging at me with that stabbing pain. I know that this causes problems for me, for my husband, for my family. I know that this gossip is destructive towards us, but I refuse to let it have an affect. God has the power, He can protect us from all of this. He can help me forgive and overcome. That is what I need today.
