Trust

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. ~Proverbs 3:5-6

Do you have that one best friend that you trust and tell everything to? If you don’t, that is okay! Because no matter what, God is and always will be there for you! You can trust him with anything… He knows what your going through, and understands how you feel! If you stay true to God and through bad times go to Him, He will always get you through it! He will clear your paths if you keep your eyes and heart focused on God and not your wordly problems! God will NEVER give you anything that you can’t handle! Sometimes life is hard, but if you look back on problems you had last week, last month, or maybe even last year; you found a way to get through it! Trust in God and you will be able to make the impossible, possible.

Conversations

Who could your words hurt?

Besides, they could get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossipers and busybodies, saying things they ought not to. ~1 Timothy 5:13

Have you ever had a conversation with someone about someone’s outfit, hair color, new shoes, etc.? More than likely you have. I have too! What if the person you were talking about heard you? Or maybe their mom was standing right there? A lot of people wouldn’t even consider that gossip, but the definition of gossip is to talk casually or maliciously about other people, that fits the bill perfectly if you ask me! The Bible is extremely clear on its stance against gossip. Romans 1:29 lists it among its list of wickedness and evil. Ephesians 4:29 tells us that our words should be used to build others up, that our words should be beneficial to those that listen. I don’t think anything beneficial came out of the conversations you (or me) have had about someone else; and it could of hurt the person that you were talking about if they ever found out! It is so much easier to see other people talking bad about someone then ourselves.

Try to not talk about others with a friend, and keep your conversations pure and clear of any foul talk. You would be surprised how much you actually do gossip!
