Word of God clearly says in Proverbs 20:19
- A gossip reveals secrets; therefore
do not associate with a babbler.
In our modern society we find people who gossip are
increasing in numbers and piercing themselves with various pains. Many of us
after being good because of the influence of the gossipers around us we have
become like them.
Gossipers are not limited to one place today; they are
everywhere that is why we have to be very alert and careful when making
friends. If we just become friends with a person who gossips then surely within
a matter of months we will become trained gossipers.
Whenever we find someone gossiping it is our duty either to
silence them by making them know that they are doing wrong or else we should
not associate with them.
Gossiping is nothing but revealing the secret of our common
friends or unknown friends with our family and friends by telling them about
the bad or wrong they are doing so that the character of that person is exposed
by us.
There are many who share their confidential things with us
thinking that we keep it in secret, the moment we have any conflict with that
person we start gossiping about that person with our friends and also common
friends.
We have to understand that every word we gossip about others
are counted as careless words for which we have give account on the day of
judgement and by our words we will either saved or condemned.
Let us be very careful when we speak to others instead of
speaking careless words let us speak about God and His Word which will benefit
them and also it will save us from gossiping.
