Have you ever gathered together with another 1 or 2 friends to show "Concern" about another friend of yours? Many times, we thought our discussion is a way of showing "Concern" to the other friend of ours but truly, most of the time, it is gossiping. Perhaps we don't realise that or perhaps gossiping is so common in this modern world, that we feel that there is nothing wrong to gossip.

Like many others, I also gossip. Sometime, it comes so natural that...I don't even realise it. I used to think it's ok, who don't gossip anyway? It was until I held a devotion book 2 nights ago that I began to realise "It is not OK!". The book belongs to Zenden and was on our desk. Thinking of doing some reading, I took it and flipped open the book and my eyes fell on this...

"But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken." - Matthew 12:36

These are the actual words from Jesus...and all along, I seems to miss out this sentence when reading the bible. However, that night, these words seem to "Shine Out" from the entire chapter. I paused. I paused for quite a while...reflecting on these words and started asking myself in my heart...Is that how I want when I come face to face with Jesus on my judgment day? Definitely NO!

Then, I was led to another in Proverb 11:13 which says "A gossip betrays a confidence...",
"When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise."-Proverb 10:19.

I think God want me to learn something. He is trying to tell me, what I think is OK, is not OK to Him even though the gossip seems harmless. He said it clearly in His words.

Now that He made His word clear, the ball is in my court to obey. Of cos, it is not going to be easy and that is why I need Him to help me to walk in obedience.
