Gossip

Have you ever chosen to repeat something just so you can shock the listener?

Have you ever wanted to be the first to share news even though it wasn’t your news to share?

Have you been told a juicy tidbit of information about someone and felt it was okay to repeat since “other” people know…therefore, it’s fair game?

I am guilty as charged. I’m not proud of it by any means.

These scenarios all fall under the category of gossip. And gossip is a difficult habit/ sin to break.

Why do we have to be the first to share news and why do we move all the more faster when it is the worst of all news?

Gossip hurts. It destroys trust. It destroys relationships with family and friends. It separates us from God.

Let’s monitor what goes into our person and released from our mouth. Is it really worth the instant thrill it gives at the expense of another? ♥️
