Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 NOBODY'S FRIEND My name is Gossip. I have no respect for justice. I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives. I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age. The more I am quoted, the more I am believed. My victims are helpless. They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name or face. To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become. I am nobody's friend. Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same. I topple governments and wreck marriages. I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indignation. I make innocent people cry in their pillows. Even my name hisses. I am called Gossip. I make headlines and headaches. **************************************** "The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell." James 3:6, NIV I believe we all are guilty of being gossip mongers, males and females alike. Let us ask the Lord to forgive us for this sin and ask Him to take control of our tongues that we may speak words that build up others and not tear them down. Luggage? GPS? Comic books?
