Oh man. ? Literally nailed me right in the heart. Really guilty of this and this blog post is so challenging to me. I feel like it's to late to have something like that to be said about me but I would love to live out a challenge like that after reading this! Thanks for your posts! Keep it up ??
Awe! Thank you Tynish. It's definitely NOT too late! I actually thought the same thing as I was writing this post, but realized that we will build many new relationships along the way. We will have so many opportunities to display that heart of unconditional love and always thinking the best of others! You love people SO well and with so much kindness - I admire that about you! Thank you for reading! Love you!
Such an encouragement! I think this hits most females right in the heart! Trying to stay pure in this area is definitely a struggle, but it's also a challenge that I am willing to take!! Thanks for the kind and honest words Linds ?
Yes, definitely! Thank you for reading! :)
Thank you for another great, convicting post L! You hit the nail right on the head in that so often I too catch myself gossiping (really, that's what it is) but vouching it with more honorable sounding verbiage. I want to be someone who everyone feels comfortable around, and not worried I might say something critical of them too to another friend - because if you gossip about one, you gossip about all!
Thank you so much for reading, Ashley! I appreciate it so much! Isn't it funny how we still try and make it seem like an 'honorable' thing? lol I'm so guilty of that as well! Thanks so much for your encouraging words!
I love this post! I am also guilty of being a gossip in high school, and recently during a friendsgiving there were a lot of people I hadn't seen since those years. It's interesting how much the conversations with my BFF regressed so much back to those days leading up to friendsgiving and after. I honestly felt sick to my stomach and it was a good wake up call not to fold into old habits when stuff from my past comes around.

Oh girl - I can relate wayyyy more than you know right now! Thank you so much for sharing that and letting me know I'm not alone. It sucks how quickly we can get dragged back into that stuff. But all we can do is repent, change and remember that grace is always poured out! Thanks for reading sweet friend!
This is such a nice post. Gossip tells a ton about a person. I try to avoid it as much as possible but sometimes it tough!
Yes, it can definitely be difficult! Especially when we surround ourselves with people who pull us into it. But it's encouraging to remember that we don't have to allow ourselves to go down that path! Thanks so much for reading!
Great, great post. Absolutely refreshing
You are so sweet, Molly. Thank you so much!
Oh Lindsay... THIS! All of it. We get so caught up in toxic conversations, where we lose the essence of ourselves. Such a good reminder, friend. Thank you xx
Thank you so, so much for reading! I completely agree in 'losing the essence of ourselves.' Thanks so much for your encouragement!
Wow this is so incredibly convincing but something that God has really been challenging me on! Thank you so much for Sharing this!!
This is a habit that I am trying to break. I have seen first hand how gossip can really hurt a person and it is not a good thing to taint or destroy someone else's name. Thank you for sharing this.
Hi,
Thank you for this - It's so easy to speak negatively of another person... a person new to me just tried to "bond" with me by disparaging another person. Although their criticism was semi-valid, it was unkind, and so I said something positive about them. This effectively shut down that line of conversation without a confrontation. I realized that I did this last week with 2 other friends as well. I do need to start watching what I say, as gossip has created a lot of division within my family rather than bringing us together.
