“Speak ill of no man, but speak all
the good you know of everybody. “ -Benjamin
Franklin
Too often people choose to gossip about someone else just
because they can. You may have all
of the juiciest information about someone, possessing all the power to cut them
down to size and get even with them.
Don’t do it. When you
decide to hold your tongue, then eventually God is going to bless you in ways
you initially may not foresee. Try
this: rather than finding something negative to say about a person you don’t
like, find something positive to say about a person you do. Use your energy for good, and not for
bad, for two reasons: (1) people need encouragement, and (2) you need God’s
favor on your life.
So
shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me
void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that
which I please and purpose, and
it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it (Isaiah 55:11,
AMP).
