Gossip Kills

A perverse man sows' strife and a whisperer separate the best of friends
Proverbs 16:28
It isn't what the movies make it seem to be on Gossip Girl
It's even more wicked than it feels in the moment
Just one bit of spice sprinkled on something nice
Can turn the whole plate sour
And before you know it your spirit has been consumed with vile impressions
Not only does it blur your vision of an image bearer
Negativity consumes your mind
Plainly said there is never a grace to talk about someone who is not in your presence, the bible says that even a bird may tell them what you said
Unless you are praying to the heavens above
Be careful because gossip kills
Reputation
Purity
Relationship
And most of all it kills your spirit
Fills it with confusion
Before you know it you're talking about your neighbor, coworker, close friends, and acquaintances more harshly until you lose all grace for anyone, including yourself
What started off innocent has turned into total slander of one's character and an assassination to yours.
I confess that I have said somethings that have hurt people and it's made my soul weak
It was a poor representation of Jesus
I was so blinded that,
Chasing the Gossip high killed my light.
Caused me to seek fig leaves to hide the shame
Cover up with blame and unnecessary rumors
Is anything too hard for the Lord?
Repent and change your wicked ways
Renew in me a clean spirit O Lord
Wash me white as snow
Its ok to not be a part of the crowd that is chatting about others.
So when they exclude you,
Take it as a blessing
Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom

THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR-
Worship and keep his commandments!
