Remember, My love, your tongue has the power of life and death. Every day you will be faced with the opportunity to talk about others. I’m asking you to let Me take control of you conversations. When you are tempted to give in to gossip, pray. I’m the only One who can tame your tongue. I know how hard it is to think before you speak, but I will help you. I want you to be careful who you listen to and what conversations you engage in. Socializing with the wrong people and getting involved with useless conversation or harmful hearsay can cost you friendships and your reputation. I am willing to listen to all that concerns you about others. So talk to Me first, and I will give you words of wisdom in how to build up others and glorify Me.
Love, Your King who keeps your secrets
Mean people spread mean gossip their words smart and burn. Troublemakers start fights gossips break up friendships. - Proverbs 16:27-29 (The Message)
