Do you remember that song you used to sing in Sunday School or on the church bus on the way home from church or to church? The one that says "Oh be careful little ears what you hear and be careful little mouth what you say"?
Boy, what a life lesson you get when you hear that song. You know, for the last few weeks and longer than that if you really want to be honest, I've struggled with trying to stay away from listening to people complain about other people, gossip, or just talk badly about others. My desire is to be able to have the ability to show myself friendly and still maintain boundaries that will keep me in line with the Word of God. I find myself failing a lot with that. And then I try to be a good listener and then notice that I allow the things that people say affect how I feel about someone. I know this is a serious call for prayer and even more consecration but why does it seem so hard to do?
It's amazing to see that people who aren't saved are nicer than me and seem to be more giving and I look at myself and feel like I'm being selfish.
Please pray that God will help me through this and you know, I know that He will. There's never been a time that He hasn't come through for me.
