Proverbs 26:20

Without wood a fire goes out;
Without gossip a quarrel dies down.
Proverbs 26:20 (NIV)

Gossip, Backbiting, and False talks.

These are issues that goes along way destroying relationships, friendships, families, and even nations. The book of proverbs has numerous instructions regarding these negative attitudes.

Building a stronger relationship requires stronger and firm foundations. Foundations such us trust, loyalty, honesty, and sincerity. These things do really matter, if one pillar of these foundations goes down, the whole house can be easily tossed even in a simplest blow of the wind.

I can’t help but blog about this, because I’m seeing these things on plurk updates, facebook status’, emails, blogs, text, TV, etc… Are we bound to these gossip bondages? Do we really want a nation, family, friendship, relationship stuck into these dilemma?

You know, as the sons and daughters of God, we are created into His image and likeness, our identity is in Christ Jesus, and I’m definitely sure that God is not a god of false talks, gossips, and backbiting and having His identity within us, we shouldn’t also possess those things. God is Love, and whoever loves his brother also loves God.

Sometimes, we should all learn to stop and ask God for wisdom on all of the things that are happening. Learn to discern the meaning behind every situations. Learn to value the trust that was given to us by a person. Learn not to say things behind any person’s back. Through these we don’t need to feel to be insecure anymore, to feel the need of being protected by someone, to totally stand out above the rest. Coz of all the foundations, God should be in the center.

I’ve been in this situation before, and I thank God for letting me learn through this, so I may be able to share it to others.

A stronger and a right foundation leads to a stronger relationship.
