RUMORS

Something I dislike much more than assumptions are rumors. Then I guess those things kind of run along the same line. Rumors not only hurt the subject but they hurt everything all together. It breaks trusts, confidence, integrity, relationships, feelings and dreams. What is a rumor? According to Merriam-Webster Online, 1 : talk or opinion widely disseminated with no discernible source; 2 : a statement or report current without known authority for its truth; 3 archaic : talk or report of a notable person or event; and my favorite… 4 : a soft low indistinct sound : murmur. Yeah, you know what that is… whispering to another person “don’t say anything but I heard….”

I guess another word for murmuring is gossip. What is that? You do not do that? That is what people say yet time and time again they proceed to create stories to try and make others look bad when all they are doing is ruining their own trustworthiness and worse, destroying their own reputation. I would love to see someone with a rumor try and submit it in court. It would never flow. What are the facts? Got them? Made them up?

Why are some people so full of hate that they do not realize all that negative emotion is literally making them blind to the truth. You say a lie, after lie, after lie that you no longer could tell what is the truth. Oh wait, I know you heard it from your best friend since kindergarten and they would never lie to you right? Wait, wait, hold up you heard it from the one you are obsessed with *cough* mean are in love with for eternity. Better yet, you feel it in your gut. Not in the Spirit of the Lord but in your gut where all the sadness and loneliness of ones depressed thoughts lay to rest.

I was a drama major so forgive me if this is coming out so dramatic. And those of you who encouraged me to write again and blog and express my creative juices again, thanks. I am having such an awesome and artistic moment.
Hopefully you have read up to this part so far. If you have, then great. This is the best part of my observations (for the moment). What does God have to say about it? Have you ever thought for once what God wants you to do and stop for a slight moment to realize that absolutely nothing that you can accomplish in life is about you? I mean if you claim to want to serve the Lord with all of your heart and all of your soul and all of your mind and all of your entire being, why aren't you?

What does God say about gossipers? God says that if you are a gossiper then you are a perverse person. Don’t believe me? Look it up yourself, Proverbs 16:28 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends. Perverse sounds bad right? OK, let’s see what the dictionary says about that. 1 a: turned away from what is right or good: corrupt b: improper, incorrect . However do not get angry with these people. Jesus says in Matt 5:And do not be angry with those that hurt you. Pray for them The bible says in Matt 5:44 ...Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. 44… Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
