"Silence is golden. The best answer to anger is silence. Don't use two words when one will do. If a man can control his tongue he can control his whole body. Life and death are in the power of your tongue." You can speak blessings or curses over your life with your words. What you say is a lot more powerful then you realize. "It is better to live on the corner of a rooftop then with a quarrelsome friend." If you want your life to always be happy, speak words that bring life. If you want a friendship to die then by all means, let it all go with hateful and destructive gossip and lashing out at your friends. If you want God to bless you, use your words carefully. "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Be wise in what you say. Think before you speak. Be a lover, not a fighter. God only cares that we love him and love other people. We can't love others and speak hatefully to them or behind their back. Mind your own business. Don't worry about what others are doing. Live your own life. A big cause of gossip is obsession and idolatry. When we talk about others a lot, we are idolizing them. We give them way more attention then what they deserve. God should be your God, not people. "Fix your eyes on things above, not on earthly things." "Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in his wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of his glory and grace." 😊
