GOSSIP

By Vernalee

Gossip and gossipers go hand in hand. We should be on guard with what we say to whom. The Bible tells us in James 3:5 -

“Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.”

Quietness and discernment are great attributes. Be careful of your words, gossip, and talking about people. Gossip travels like wildfire. I learned that a lie will travel around the world before the truth gets started. Our tiny tongues can cause monumental (big) problems. The people who gossips with you also gossips with others. Beware! As the saying goes - “If a dog brings a bone, he’ll take one!”
